Where Are the Humans in Urban Greening? Proposing a New Approach to Urban Greening Through the Lens of Human-Centered Design
Urban greening has transitioned from a supplementary component of urban development to a central element in contemporary planning policies, driven by its recognized environmental, social, and health benefits. This paper explores urban greening processes through the lens of Human-Centered Design (HCD), an approach that emphasizes iterative, participatory, and user-oriented approaches. While public participation in urban planning is traditionally f…
Automated property parcel classification using very high-resolution land cover imagery and multi-modal deep learning
This study addresses the challenges of monitoring urban development where sprawl, infill and soft densification are prevalent. To accurately identify the spatial distribution and characteristics of different development types, a multi-modal deep learning model was developed to predict parcel-level development types using very high-resolution land cover maps and tabular data representing parcel attributes of surface cover, built form and dwelling …
Measuring use of the street space in central city areas
In central city areas, the use of different transport modes is common and levels of people activity tend to be high. However, existing measures of street space use mainly focus on vehicle flow, with little consideration given to measuring ‘people’. Based on surveys undertaken within the central city of Melbourne, this research developed six measures of street space use, building upon established measures of flow and concentration by incorporating…

The social psychologist as planner
Oscar Oeser was a polymath import to the Antipodes, primarily known as a social psychologist and as the founding Professor of Psychology at the University of Melbourne. But he was also a very effective network builder, and an important conduit for overseas ideas – not least with respect to urban and rural planning. With interest in urban planning surging in the immediate post-Second World War period, Oeser undertook a joint project with the Head …
A decade of nature
Cities have important roles in biodiversity restoration and management. Local municipalities, as key land managers, play critical roles since some species are restricted to small patches of urban habitat, and some are considered threatened. Evolving approaches to urban nature policy, strategy and implementation demonstrate increasing sophistication and complexity, with approaches transitioning towards the adoption of more complex objectives, that…
Integrating biodiversity as a non-human stakeholder within urban development
Landscape of multiculturalism in Australia
Embracing multiculturalism has become an important initiative for enhancing cultural identity, social cohesion, and harmony in many migrant-receiving countries. While a large body of literature has examined ethnic diversity in relation to migration, less attention has been given to tracking changes in ethnic diversity over time and from a spatial perspective. Our study aims to contribute to this gap by examining nationwide ethnic diversity in Aus…
Taking Play Seriously in Urban Design
The original Cerdà plan (Pla Cerdà) of 1855 for the extension of Barcelona is famous for its grid array of large blocks and wide streets to promote circulation. Each block was originally intended to have an area of open space in the center to provide for the needs of residents. Already by the 1920s, however, the center of the blocks had been filled with buildings. Barcelona currently suffers from a chronic lack of open space, excess noise, and ai…
Tracking the settlement patterns of culturally and linguistically diverse (Cald) populations in Australia
Tracking the settlement of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) populations serves as the foundation for population projection, urban planning, and policy making to achieve social justice, equity, and multicultural harmony. Drawing on census data in 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016 and 2021, our study contributes an Australian nationwide time-series study of the settlement of CALD populations at a fine neighbourhood level, enabling long-term tracki…
A Review of Existing Ecological Design Frameworks Enabling Biodiversity Inclusive Design
Built environment practitioners currently seek options and opportunities to respond to the biodiversity emergency. Biodiversity Inclusive Design (BID) is an approach to design that seeks to foster functional ecological systems, enable species’ persistence within the built environment and (re) connect people with nature. BID can support designers’ quest toward biodiversity positivity. However, design projects that prioritise biodiversity are spars…

The seven lamps of planning for biodiversity in the city
Cities tend to be built in areas of high biodiversity, and the accelerating pace of urbanization threatens the persistence of many species and ecological communities globally. However, urban environments also offer unique prospects for biological conservation, with multiple benefits for humans and other species. We present seven ecological principles to conserve and increase the biodiversity of cities, using metaphors to bridge the gap between th…
Making the Blood Broil
A key challenge for planning the peri-urban internationally derives from the ability of land-use change to outstrip the development of new concepts and understandings. There are few places where this is more apparent than in the peri-urban areas of Melbourne, Australia, where applications to develop technologically sophisticated broiler or poultry farms are fiercely opposed by local residents and amenity migrants with attendant imaginaries of loc…
Exhibitions and the Development of Modern Planning Culture
All of London's a stage
The post-war reconstruction era was marked by numerous planning exhibitions which provide a window on the contemporary nature of communication and consultation in planning practice. The 1943 Exhibition of the County of London Plan prepared by J.H. Forshaw and Patrick Abercrombie was a major event with the king and queen making a high-profile visit. This article describes the making of the exhibition, considers its content, design and historical s…
Multiple Suburban Publics
Since the late 1980s urban consolidation has become the dominant strategic planning paradigm across Australian cities; however, sites of densification are increasingly becoming sites of community resistance and conflict. In the context of theSydney Metropolitan Strategy, this paper explores Ku-ring-gai in Sydney's northern suburbs as a site of community resistance centred on opposition to urban consolidation. Moving beyond more traditional constr…
Twenty-first century nomadic city
Since the early 1990s, Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, has experienced rapid rural to urban migration and population growth resulting in the growth in informal settlements across the city. The informal settlements are known as ‘ger’ districts. In response to these pressures, since the 1990s, the central government has adopted a programme of land reform and metropolitan planning. These new reforms take place in the context of a unique, post-…
From Green Belts to Green Infrastructure
Green belts have been a part of the planning landscape for much of the 20th century, yet they have come under attack in recent years. The objective of this article is to inform the future of the green belt concept internationally and in the UK. We first examine recent policy changes in the UK, showing how green belts are being conceived more broadly to include the concept of green infrastructure. We then focus on Canadian green belts, and in part…
