The spatial distribution of the travel to work by sustainable transport modes in Australian cities from 2001 to 2011

Abstract

The transport network plays a significant role in the development of sustainable, resilient and liveable cities. To understand the impacts of current policies and to guide the future planning of liveable settlements, it is important to monitor and analyse trends in transport behaviour. The aim of this research is to investigate changes over time in the spatial distribution of the principal sustainable modes of transport in Australia’s capital cities. The analysis reported in this paper uses the 2011 Census to update and extend this earlier analysis of 2001 and 2006 Census JTW data by Stone and Mees (2011). TableBuilder Pro was used to analyse ABS Census data from 2001, 2006 and 2011 to explo..
