Transport and land use integration : what does it look like?

Calls for modal integration and the integration of land use and transport are common, and most practitioners have their own ideas about what transport integration with land use might look like. This paper uses a case study approach to examine how a small traditional sub-district centre and its catchment in Sydney's inner west performs in transport terms. The centre is of interest due to its diverse housing types; the recent redevelopment of pockets of brownfield industrial land to medium density housing; remoteness from the rail network; its position on a rather unattractive arterial road; and its traffic-calmed grid pattern street network. The study documents and analyses the urban form; land uses; the demographics of the resident population; transport services; and transport facilities of the centre and its local catchment, to understand how these factors might influence the transport outcome in this location. A detailed accessibility analysis is undertaken to test the importance of modal integration and integration of land use and transport.
