在澳大利亚，车道活化已成为一种流行的CBD振兴战略，许多城市试图复制墨尔本车道活化工作的高度宣传成功。然而，试图实施巷道激活的小城市只有大城市的经验作为指导，因为缺乏对巷道激活的学术研究。这就提出了一个问题，即为大城市制定的政策和战略是否可以成功地适用于小城市的巷道网络。
本论文的目的是研究巷道活化在小规模CBD复兴中的作用。为此，在对六个区域昆士兰州CBD的巷道网络进行比较分析之前，首先对现有文献进行了分析。这些城市之一-麦凯-进一步分析，试图衡量激活的潜力，并制定一个适合小城市的巷道激活策略的案例研究。
这种混合方法的研究表明，在区域昆士兰州的小城市已经概述了广泛的计划，巷道激活。现有的文献表明，这些计划的一些大城市灵感方面将是无效的。得出的结论是，小城市应通过逐步改善现有网络，采取渐进的方法来激活车道和振兴中央商务区。因此，这项研究的结果表明，巷道活化有可能在小规模的CBD振兴中发挥小作用。
Laneway activation has become a popular CBD revitalisation strategy in Australia, with many cities attempting to replicate the highly publicised success of Melbourne’s laneway activation efforts. Small cities attempting to implement laneway activation, though, only have the experiences of large cities for guidance, as there is a dearth of academic research scrutinising laneway activation. This raises the question of whether or not policies and strategies developed for large cities can be successfully adapted for small city laneway networks.
The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the role of laneway activation in small-scale CBD revitalisation. To this end, the available literature was first analysed before a comparative analysis of laneway networks in six regional Queensland CBDs was undertaken. One of these cities – Mackay – was further analysed as a case study in an attempt to gauge the potential for activation and develop a laneway activation strategy suitable for a small city.
This mixed method research revealed that small cities in regional Queensland have outlined broad plans for laneway activation. The available literature indicates some of the large city inspired aspects of these plans would be ineffectual. It was concluded that small cities should take a gradual approach to laneway activation and CBD revitalisation by making incremental improvements to existing networks. The outcomes of this research thereby suggest laneway activation has potential to play a small role in small-scale CBD revitalisation.
