Abstract
The form of a city has a major impact on the lifestyles of its residen ts. As urban centers grow, careful strategies are required to ensure t hat the regional quality of life is not adversely affected by this gro wth. An important strategic consideration is transportation planning. Questions regarding the sustainability of dispersed car dependent urba n forms have led to a renewed interest in public transportation. This paper examines access to public transportation and discusses approache s for improving such access. Examples from the South East Queensland r egion of Australia will be used for illustration.
