Emerging futures: transit-oriented development as a strategy for dealing with urban sprawl and congestion in South East Queensland

该项目将研究SEQ的城市扩张现象，以了解扩张如何影响建筑和城市环境。交通导向发展（TOD）被视为抑制城市蔓延的全球战略，但TOD的效益尚未在澳大利亚得到衡量。随着铁路基础设施周围人口密度的增加，对公共安全的威胁也越来越大。这项研究将探讨TOD在四个跨学科领域的更广泛问题：建筑和城市设计、城市规划、安全、反恐和威胁管理、运输战略和机构管理。

This project will examine the phenomenon of urban sprawl in SEQ to understand how sprawl is impacting on architectural and urban environments. Transit-oriented devlopment (TOD)is seen as a global strategy for inhibiting urban sprawl, but the benefits of TOD are not yet measured in Australia. With increased density around railway infrastructure the threat to public safety is raised. This study will examine the wider issues of TOD with respect to four inter-disciplinary areas: architecture and urban design, urban planning, security, counter-terrorism and threat management, transport strategy and insitutional management.
