This paper discusses sustainability in relation to transport within cities and outlines some practical methods for enabling this to happen.

The aims of this paper are twofold; first, to identify employment centres (ECs) in 1981 and 2001 across the Sydney metropolitan area and, secondly, to examine shifts in commuting to employment centres by car and public transport.

The aim of this paper is an empirical investigation of the changing spatial organisation of economic activities and the functions of identified employment centres within the context of a polycentric and dispersed employment pattern.

While metropolitan restructuring and changes in journey to work patterns are well monitored at the aggregate level in Sydney by the NSW Department of Urban Affairs and Planning, the impacts of these changes on accessibility to employment opportunities remains largely unknown by the planning community.
