'Inner town living'? Doesn't have quite the same ring as 'inner city living', but it is equally important. People should be encouraged to live in Shepparton's Maude Street Mall. The mall needs its own community, not just its present nine-to-five...UDFQ 81: MarchUDF2008-04-07T12:24:06+10:00Cycling Resource Centre

It seems that the secret and missing ingredient in South East Queensland's urban design recipe has been found - subtropicality! There are similarities in regional plans of Greater Vancouver, Portland, Melbourne and South East Queensland. However, the SEQ document is...UDFQ 81: MarchUDF2008-04-07T12:21:49+10:00ACNU08 in Brisbane
http://www.udf.org.au/archives/2008/04/acnu08_in_brisb.php
The rationale of large numbers does not prove anything. However, it does say something. In February, 400 people gathered in Brisbane to once again hear the Australian new urbanist message.

http://www.udf.org.au/archives/2008/04/news_from_abu_d.php
Abu Dhabi is a city with a population almost the same size as Adelaide: it feels like a much bigger city because of the large dense central city, the impressive skyline, and the amount of construction activity. The population is...UDFQ 81: MarchUDF2008-04-07T12:12:24+10:00Childers Street - creating a sustainable knowledge and arts heart in Canberra's city centre
http://www.udf.org.au/archives/2008/04/childers_street.php
Acland Street in St Kilda, Sydney's King Street Wharf/Darling Harbour and Grey Street/South Bank in Brisbane are vibrant inner-city areas transformed through urban regeneration.
