Issues, dilemmas, choices
- The number of cars is increasing. Should authorities build more roads,
develop public transportation and/or restrict car use?
- How can the present transport infrastructure be most effectively and economically integrated?
- Should authorities play a greater role in determining the shape of
new private development, eg, restricting appearance and layout of new
stores or requiring pedestrian-friendly features?
- Can older developments be retro-fitted to meet current ideals. e.g., downtown buildings built in the 60s and 70s often have little at ground-level to interact with pedestrians. Can this be easily rectified?
- Should incentives be given to developers to create in-fill housing and a variety of housing types rather than typical suburbs of large houses?
- Should authorities create green-belts to preserve open land and restrict outward growth, with the knowledge that this can lead to rising property values?
- How can redevelopment of run-down areas be best achieved without simply moving the current residents to another run-down area?
