The future of urbanism in Australia and around the globe to adapt and respond to the challenges of climate change, economic development and social inclusion, will depend on how well we create urban centres, not just suburbs. Creating Sustainable Centres of Tomorrow needs a new and transformative approach. The Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre (SBEnrc) has been conducting research on how cities regenerate and create new centres by integrating new forms of transit along streets (using Trackless Trams) with urban regeneration around stations. Previous research has concluded that this could only be done by integrating a new approach to funding and financing with partnerships between land developers, the local community, state agencies and federal government goals for Australian cities. These findings align with the successes observed in initiatives such as the City Deal model that are now being adopted across Australia.
