Infrastructure

Even after four decades of studies and debate, Australia is yet to develop a plan that integrates regional cities into a high-speed rail network

Melbourne’s Suburban Rail Loop aims to help the city become more equitable – but better integration of land use and transport could deliver more benefits for less money

Big projects are almost always over budget, but in Australia they too often have massive cost blowouts. There are ways to fix this.

Melbourne’s proposed bus program could change the city’s public transport system for the better, but it doesn’t quite go far enough

They are critical to urban life, but we don’t often think about infrastructures. Maybe it’s time we should

Our natural environments must be prioritised and understood when designing infrastructure for modern cities. The 2022 flooding in Seoul is a devastating example

A new book explores how Melbourne’s multi-billion dollar East-West Link that promised to knit the city together was stymied from the start

There’s been some progress in incorporating climate change into engineering design, but flood guidance must keep up with our changing climate

Good urban design can help enhance our health; new research uses ‘big data’ to explore how Australian cities compare globally

An app that can get you from A to B faster and safer? The technology to transform our burgeoning city transport systems into intelligent networks is already here
