Abstraksi:This paper addresses the issue of managing car-travel demand in large urban centers and reviews two instruments—urban form changes and publictransport improvements—by drawing on the experience of Australian cities.Urban form changes can be achieved by higher population and employment den-sities. At a city or broad zonal level, the reviews show that higher densities ofpopulation and employment lead to lower levels of travel and car use. However,the linkage between urban form changes can be a complex and indirect process ata less aggregate level. Large changes in the urban form may be necessary toproduce small changes in car and transit usage. This study also shows that newrail transit investments in the cities of Perth and Gold Coast were only able toreduce car use in the same transport corridor by a small percentage. A significant proportion of the rail users were previous bus users. There is no quick fix to theurban transport problems confronting large cities, and the solution will needpolitical will to implement a package of long and short-term measures.
