Industrial land in the planning imaginary – the role and place of industry in strategic plans for Melbourne, 1929–2017
Urban planning has had a close but evolving relationship with industrial activity. However, industrial activity has rarely been centred in planning or zoning histories. Industrialization was a catalyzing concern in early planning movements, with zoning newly defining and separating land by use. Large-scale manufacturing drove strategic planning for western cities through the mid-twentieth century, while the late twentieth century saw urban indust…
Defining ‘adequate’ tree protection
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 …
Industrial District Transitions
Recent research questions the relevance of urban industrial zoning in the context of industry change and competitive property markets, but overlooks the place‐based variation and complexities that define contemporary industrial districts. Drawing on comparative case study research in Melbourne, Australia, this article explores the changing character of industrial zones and the relationship between zoning, industrial gentrification and agglomerati…
Zoning and urban restructuring
Finding the forgotten spaces
Informal green spaces (IGS) are the overlooked and unplanned green spaces in our cities. They have been shown provide a potentially important social and ecological green space asset through contributing to ecological habitat and connectivity, as well as green space accessibility for urban residents. Despite their potential value to urban social-ecological systems, IGS are often overlooked and forgotten in urban planning policy. However, before we…
Regulating Sustainable Production
Zoning that supports urban manufacturing may offer new opportunities to promote sustainability benefits ranging from improved job accessibility to reduced waste and resource use. However, industrial uses in urban areas face displacement from competing and conflicting uses. While the process of industrial gentrification is well documented, little work has examined how planning strategies and regulations affect urban manufacturing and its potential…
Do Industrial Firms Follow Zoning? Changing Firm Location and the Introduction of Metropolitan Zoning
Limited research examines the relationship between land-use zoning and industrial activity over time, with little known beyond standard narratives of industrial suburbanisation. We combine records of zoning controls and firm location to examine their associations in Melbourne, Australia between 1954 and 1974 following the introduction of comprehensive zoning. Results show increasing concentrations of industrial firms in industrial zones and confi…
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…
Private-led land assembly and urban consolidation
From the time a city is first subdivided, its structure of lots act as a precursor to all future redevelopment, forming the spatial bounds of land ownership that force buildings to develop and evolve in their place. It is therefore critical for planning systems that intend to contain urban sprawl to encourage the lot superstructure to adapt to the emerging needs of a city. This study assesses the role that existing regulatory planning mechanisms …
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 social-ecological framework for identifying and governing informal greenspaces in cities
Evaluating evolving experiments
While accounts of urban climate change governance and planning are growing, there is a need for further conceptual and empirical work to better understand processes of change and uptake across a range of local responses. This paper uses the Council Alliance for a Sustainable Built Environment (CASBE) as an urban experiment seeking to influence development and planning decisions to improve sustainability outcomes in the built environment in the St…
Leaf my neighbourhood alone! predicting the influence of densification on residential tree canopy cover in Perth
Long run urban analysis using property records
This paper demonstrates the contribution that historical property records can make to our understanding of long run urban change. We use a case study of two streets from the suburb of Carlton in Melbourne, Australia between 1870 and 1970. The property records form a panel database that can be interrogated using standard modelling techniques. These data are used to analyse change in the built environment over time, and identify the factors that ma…
Collaboration with Caveats
Researcher and practitioner collaboration in urban planning is both critical to good outcomes and problematic to achieve in reality. Collaboration has the potential for new partnerships, better research problem definition, improved research design and greater impact on practice and policy. However, politics, stakeholder agendas and funding bodies bring pressures and constraints, for which research professionals require a broader set of skills to …
Key Concepts in Urban Studies
Need to get across gentrification processes without an exhaustive literature review? Need to bone up on conceptions of neighbourhood before your tutorial starts (as either student or instructor)? T
