Transforming food security policymaking in Australia: A three-tiered food systems-centred and rights-based approach
Global food security policies are increasingly shaped by the impacts of climate change, geopolitical conflicts, and evolving food systems, prompting shifts in national approaches. However, these shifts remain uneven, with high-income nations often demonstrating weak commitments to food security. This Australian case study draws on analyses of 102 food-related policies, 25 stakeholder interviews and 500 public surveys conducted across the states o…
Symbolic or substantive? Intermediaries and the practice of public participation
This study examines the understudied intermediary role of planning consultants in shaping public participation in smart city planning in Indonesia. In this descriptive qualitative study, we analyzed interviews with stakeholders in Mojokerto Regency, Indonesia using established participation frameworks. Evidence from this case indicates that consultants bridge technical and communicative gaps and may align with the tokenism spectrum due to central…
Integrating Urban Land Use Planning With Food Systems in Australia: Policy Integration Challenges and Opportunities
Integrating urban land use policies with food systems is becoming a widespread global strategy to build resilient socio‐ecological systems and address the challenges of climate change and rapid urbanization. Yet varying degrees of integration have raised questions about its efficacy and hindered broader adoption. This article introduces a multi‐structured what‐why‐how framework to evaluate the elements of Australian food systems amenable to integ…

Food diversity and accessibility enabled urban environments for sustainable food consumption: A case study of Brisbane, Australia
Food overconsumption is being addressed increasingly in the policy agendas of many advanced economies to achieve sustainable consumption. Yet, few studies define and research sustainable food consumption, particularly in understanding socioeconomic and environmental challenges and opportunities in urban environments. This paper evaluates 500 online surveys conducted in Brisbane, Australia, to explore public perceptions of food consumption and the…
Leveraging business intelligence solutions for urban parking management
Efficient parking management is essential for enhancing customer experience, mobility, accessibility, and overall quality of life in urban areas. In recent years, parking analytics have emerged as valuable tools for understanding drivers’ behavior and developing data-driven management strategies. However, the application of these tools is often hindered by the complexity of data extraction, transformation, loading and analysis. Additionally, the …
Retiring meters: A roadmap to encourage wider adoption of parking apps
This paper examines factors influencing the adoption of parking apps and explores various app configurations to reduce reliance on traditional parking meters. The study surveyed 304 respondents in Brisbane, Australia. A mixed logit model was estimated to analyze preferences regarding various app characteristics. Results revealed that the introduction of new contactless payment options, real-time parking information, and parking expiry reminders p…
Trans-Governance and Food Systems (Tr-GaF) for food policy integration: A case study of the Australian food policy landscape
Limited policy integration with little attention to food-related urban planning. • Vertical and horizontal policy misalignments across governance levels and sectors. • Inadequate policy integration with and concerning food systems. • Weak food policy integration undermines urban sustainability in three dimensions. • Framework Trans-Governance and Food Systems (Tr-GaF) for food policy integration. Food policy integration is critical for sustainabi…
The impacts of transport infrastructure development on travel route switch behavior in Bangladesh
A better understanding of individuals' route switch behavior is required to take the best possible interventions to alleviate roadway traffic congestion. The impact of different transport infrastructure, including new roads, highways, and motorways, on reducing traffic congestion and travel time savings was reported in the literature. However, the effect of flyovers on travel route switch behavior remains unexplored, particularly in developing co…

Connecting social and environmental policy in Australia: Collateral gains or collateral damage
Climate change research relating to “co‐benefits” suggests that the facilitation of social‐welfare outcomes through environmental policy offers a powerful means of incentivising climate change action. Concerns about social‐welfare, however, are often used to undermine climate change policies, typically through political claims that low‐to‐middle‐income households should not shoulder the costs of greater policy alignment between social and environ…

Negotiating the Problem of Airport Noise: Comparative Lessons from the Australian Experience
This paper critically examines recent responses by and interactions between stakeholders in negotiating the acceptability of aircraft noise standards in Australia in order to help inform debate in Britain. It investigates the interplay of the politics of noise with the broader land use planning context focusing on the role of government, airports, community interests, and the development sector. Different local environments inevitably frame diver…

Could urban greening mitigate suburban thermal inequity: The role of residents’ dispositions and household practices
Over the past decade research on urban thermal inequity has grown, with a focus on denser built\nenvironments. In this letter we examine thermal inequity associated with climate change impacts and\nchanges to urban form in a comparatively socio-economically disadvantaged Australian suburb. Local\nurban densification policies designed to counteract sprawl have reduced block sizes, increased height\nlimits, and diminished urban tree canopy cover (U…

Performance-Based Planning: Perspectives from the United States, Australia, and New Zealand
This article examines the application of performance-based planning at the local level in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. A review of the literature finds that there have been few evaluations of performance-based planning, despite its being used by many governments. The authors provide a comparative review of the experiences of various jurisdictions in implementing this form of zoning and present observations on its relative streng…

An evolving policy network in action: The case of construction aggregate policy in Ontario
The history of legislation to control aggregate mining reflects a power struggle between provincial and municipal interests. A content analysis of 140 Ontario Municipal Board (omb) hearings was assessed for a twenty‐five‐year period to evaluate the conflict between provincial and municipal governments and to document the role of legislation and policy in the resolution of the disputes. This article discusses the trend of successive Ontario govern…
I Used To Know That”: What Happens When Reform Gets Through The Classroom Door
This article places Proposition 227 in the context of the policy web formed by a series of legislative acts and policies at the national, state, and local school board levels; federal judicial decisions; state and local elections; changes in the local school district board and superintendent. We draw on our ongoing ethnographic study of a fifth-grade classroom to illustrate what happens when policies get through the classroom door. Through this a…

The Development of Property Rights on the Canadian and American Mining Frontiers
Introduction It has sometimes been asserted that the history of mining in North America represents a kind of pure democracy, in which mining law was created by the miners without intervention from lawyers or politicians, and particularly without the input, interference, or advice of corrupt Eastern lawmakers. The classic expression of this idea is the Turner thesis, made popular by the turn of the century historian Frederick Jackson Turner. In an…

A Conceptual Framework for Environmental History in Canada's North
A library's worth of books has been written on the history of northern Canada, most of them narratives, and most of which feature the environment, either as a main protagonist, or at least as a bit player. But with a few honorable exceptions, of which Jamie Bastedo's highly readable book on the Northwest Territories is a recent example, none have analyzed it., There are substantial bodies of both historical and environmental literature pertaining…
