Project Summary

The redevelopment and improvement of outdated urban infrastructure and the establishment of new infrastructure to meet needs of a growing population and increased services is a challenge faced by urban planners and developers in most Australian cities. This research will develop a systems based framework within which combinations of models and tools will be evaluated for inclusion in an integrated assessment tool. The tool will enable us to address urban growth and its inter relationship with infrastructure systems and services, including transport, energy, water, affordable housing, education and other land use issues in relation to a case study of urban development.
