This article reviews the literature on current “best practice” principles for planning public transport (PT) networks within the context of planners seeking to transition their cities toward sustainable mobility. An overview is provided of the history of ideas about network development. The emerging frontiers for multimodal, demand-responsive PT and the potential implications of new transport technology on traditional PT are discussed. The future role of transit-oriented development within PT network structures is considered. The “moderators” to network design that may impede future best practice brings the article to conclusion.

New models of shared work spaces have the potential to disrupt traditional employment spaces. The full implications of these new employment spaces for urban policy and planning are unclear.Drawing on a pilot study of Greater Perth and regional Western Australia, current planning policies that facilitate, or create barriers to, the success of shared work spaces are examined. Interviews with a sample of managers and users of shared work spaces are reported.Shared work spaces are emerging in regulatory voids left by outdated policy frameworks. They escape adverse policy settings by relying on the forward thinking of local regulators seeking to revitalise urban centres. The success of innovative repurposing of space brings into question the efficacy and purpose of more prescriptive land use regulations and policies.
