Abstract: This study investigates changes to the workplace that are leading to ‘anywhere working’. It explores the potential demand for smart work centres in the local government areas of Liverpool, Blacktown and Penrith in Western Sydney and the public and private benefits that would accrue from their use.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the relationship between fuel price, land use characteristics and household travel green house gas (GHG) emissions in Sydney, and determine fuel price policy implications to efficiently reduce overall travel GHG emissions in the short-term, taking into account social equity.

By combining a random sample of primary schools in Sydney with detailed traffic volume data, we estimate the impact of traffic pollution on the health of primary school children in Sydney.

After analysing patterns of transport fuel consumption and greenhouse emissions for Sydney, the paper examines potential mitigation strategies, including options for minimising travel demand, reducing oil and CO2 intensiveness, and shifting travel to more sustainable modes.

This paper describes the thinking used to develop an integrated urban systems model of transport and domestic dwelling energy-use in association with domestic water-use.
