Land is one of the most contested and valuable of natural resources in urban areas. While many of the contestations may be primarily due to its economic value as territory, land is far more than the observable space. Land is an integral part of the urban ecological fabric and is closely linked to the dynamics of other resources like water and energy. The relationship between the nature and intensity of land-use, resource consumption and ecosystem functioning is of critical significance for urban sustainability. Urban spatial patterns which are mostly a result of planning paradigms and decisions, land availability and transportation choices can significantly influence urban resource consumption. This paper first examines broader issues around land, focusing specifically on land cover, land use, and densities, and then examines the inter-linkages between land and the infrastructure sectors of water, energy, and transport. The paper examines the current literature on Indian cities as well as some key international articles, focusing in particular on identifying the knowledge gaps and next steps for research, practice and policy in this domain.

“…At a macro level, studies from North America (Kumar, 1990;Douglas, 1991cited in Handy, 1996Filion, 2001), Europe (Rickaby, 1991;Van der Valk and Faludi, 1992;Schwanen et al, 2001;Dieleman et al, 2002;Cooper et al, 2001;Lloyd Jones et al, 2001) and Australia (Brotchie, 1992;Newman and Kenworthy, 1996;Newton, 2000) advocate a 'polycentric' urban form claiming it could result, variously, in a reduction in trip distance by car, reduced exposure to smog or more efficient fuel use.…”

“…This reflects the reality that both decentralisation and concentration processes are at work in the city (Bertolini, 1999), some business and residences are decentralising, while others remain in centres of Australian cities. The most widely agreed solution for sustainable transport outcomes in cities appears to be one of multiple nodes of concentrated activity, a transition from a 'Uniplex City', with one central core of activities surrounded by suburbs, to a 'Multiplex City', with several centres connected both physically and by telecommunications (Srinivasan, 2002: Sorenson, 2001Lloyd Jones et al, 2001;Filion, 2001;Healey, 2000;Newton, 2000;Frey, 1999;Brotchie, 1992;Newman, 1992Newman, , 1996Van der Valk and Faludi, 1992;Kumar, 1990;Van Til, 1979). …”

Network City: Retrofitting the Perth Metropolitan Region to Facilitate Sustainable Travel

Abstract'Network City', the latest 25 year planning strategy for metropolitan Perth, Western Australia, is designed to realise the integration of land use and transport networks within established and new areas. This paper examines the influence of urban form on travel patterns and the case for sustainable travel outcomes in order to set in context the 'Network City' concept. The concept is described, and then the paper focuses on the operational detail needed to progress towards fuller integration between the transport network and the city it serves. This includes analysis of urban structure in the context of the factors that influence efficient use of public transport: including residential density, intensity of activity, and the hierarchy of activity centres. The implications for road planning are discussed where land use-transport integration is the core objective rather than simply traffic efficiency. If sustainable travel is to be facilitated there is a need to change both the operation of public transport and the urban structure and these changes are mutually supportive.

“…Sprawled cities have resulted in functional separation and increased journey distances (Bart, 2009;Belzer & Autler, 2002;Newman & Kenworthy, 1996). This again led to the decentralisation and dispersion of other land-uses -typical of South African apartheid and early post-apartheid planning practices (DoH, 2004).…”
