CLUSTERS NOT CENTRESTHE NEED FOR VISION, EQUITY & OPPORTUNITY

IN THE FUTURE CITY

/ Victoria’s current focus on ‘clusters’ provides a new way to understand the development of cities.

/ Linking urban development to the important issue of access and opportunity.

/ What will these clusters look like and what approaches are required to make them happen?

We need to capitalise on our network of knowledge

THE MELBOURNE CONTEXTCLUSTERS NOT CENTRES: THE NEED FOR VISION, EQUITY & OPPORTUNITY IN THE FUTURE CITY| ROB MCGAURAN | MGS | 21 NOV 2014

/ The Activity Centre concept: a commercial and retail-focused core, supported by increased residential development.

/ The majority have failed to deliver.

/ Conversely, centres inclusive of hospitals and university campuses have prospered.

Why?

THE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMYTHE UNSUNG HERO OF GROWTH


The Victorian Government seeks to strengthen the State’s position as a globally competitive service-based economy. International education is Victoria’s largest single export industry. It brings allied benefi ts to local tourism, hospitality and retailing either directly from the students themselves or when overseas relatives and friends come to visit...

NEW APPROACHES


/ Knowledge workers and students consistently and disproportionately nominate public transport as a priority.

/ Public transport needs to compete with the private vehicle (journey time).

/ Commuters also rate public transport services on frequency, directness, safety and comfort.

SUPPORT FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTHIGH QUALITY, MULTI-MODAL


SUPPORT FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTNOT JUST ‘BIG TICKET’ ITEMS

/ Promote high frequency, direct, and networked approaches.

/ Improve interchange and end-of-trip facilities and provide real-time information.

/ Pursue active transport solutions.


/ Improvements to PT and cycling facilities.

/ Path network works. / Ongoing regional

transport advocacy. / 2008–2012

16% shift to public transport from private transport. Cycling to the campus has doubled.

/ 601 bus service now the busiest in Victoria.

MONASHMAKING PLANS REALITY

Establish employment clusters as autonomous development areas, which are part-governed by:

/ The signifi cant institutions that operate within them.

/ In partnership with and aided by local government and the state Metropolitan Planning Agency.

/ Government support for key projects. / Affordable Housing & improved access.

GOVERNANCE & PARTNERSHIPSCLUSTERS AS AUTONOMOUS DEVELOPMENT AREAS


/ Develop partnerships between major cluster stakeholders.

/ Partnerships facilitate more signifi cant outcomes than individual organisations could achieve on their own.

/ A coalition of interested parties is more infl uential than one institution pushing a single agenda.
