Visions for a sustainable transport future: a comparative analysis of transport planning approaches in Singapore, Vienna and Brisbane

Abstract

Singapore, Vienna and Brisbane represent three mid-to-large sized metropolitan regions with advanced economies and highly developed societies. On a worldwide basis, Singapore and Vienna are recognised for their enlightened approaches to transport and urban planning – and to some extent are recognised reference cases for any city that is developing or improving its transport planning and systems. This paper offers a comparative analysis of the three city regions and their key transport planning policy arrangements. The overarching concern is for the philosophy of transport planning in the three cities, as well as the effectiveness of the planning documents themselves. In order to draw out other important themes, a number of key areas for comparison will be covered. These include: • transport and urban performance parameters • a review of key projects, investments and implementation phases • the manner in which the cities approach the topic of “an integrated public transport network” • the role of road network management • transport/land use relationships and policy.
