Abstract

This paper presents the findings of a joint research project to undertake a systematic analysis of the relationships between transport provision and socio-economic and socio-spatial outcomes in the urban context that attempts to do this, with a focus on western Sydney. The research demonstrated that there is no clear-cut east-west divide in the distribution of public transport services in Sydney, nor is there a simple relationship between transport provision and the spatial distribution of social disadvantage. Instead, when transport service provision and social disadvantage were considered in tandem, the research found that the disadvantaged groups living in areas with limited transport services are disproportionately represented in Western Sydney.
