State and local governments have many levers to bring about better land use and transport integration. These can be categorised into strategic asset management (infrastructure, services and non-built solutions), regulations (land use and transport), pricing (subsidies) and build capacity (others deliver transport solutions). The challenge is to derive planning methods and tools that integrate these levers to achieve a desired outcome. Planning using urban design methods within a geographic setting is one approach to providing this integration. Integrated transport planning is also an approach to achieve modal integration. The planning and assessment processes used in the UK and USA will be reviewed in the context of the ability of these processes to achieve land use and transport integration. In the UK this includes ‘New Approach to Appraisal and Local Transport Plans’, and in the USA use ‘Metropolitan Planning Organisations and Regional Plans’. Many of the learnings are derived from the merging of land use and transport planning functions into the West Australian Department for Planning and Infrastructure.
