Green Transport: Rob Adams

Rob Adams
City of Melbourne

  • we're building in financial stress (on the fringe)
  • we can transform our cities - as we have done in Melbourne
  • transport is about moving more people, rather than more vehicles, past a point

Quotes:

  • I'm 'an absolute optimist'
  • 'we should resist it (change to greater densities), it will be more liveable'
  • shovel ready projects to respond to the stimulus package 'I don't know of projects like these' 'I'm afraid we're going to waste it'

GAMUT
  • transport disadvantage/forced car ownership (VCOSS)
  • affordable living rather than affordable housing
  • walking - largely the domain of councils
  • liveability the measure rather than the project
