Performance Based Activity Centre Planning Opportunities for user-driven decision making
Performance-Based Activity Centre Planning • New paradigm • Performance oriented • Requires an understanding of what success is…. • A vision
Old School • Compliance • Retail Scale • Existing network capacity • Hierarchy • Defends the status quo • “Pleasant Mediocrity” Effectiveness Decision Rules Metrics Vision Function
Performance-Based Activity Centre Planning Context Change in users, function and scale Future vision of performance Performance goals Solutions to respond to impacts Impact on context
Vision • Defining success in a way that can be measured • Change in • User Mix • Function • Scale
Planning for people • Existing and future • User Mix • Residents • Workers • Visitors • Enterprises
User Mix Function • Meeting the needs of users • Function = Drivers + Capacity • Policy often tries to predetermine future function based upon: • Existing capacity of network • Existing capacity of centre • Anticipated capacity constraints • Not a hierarchy
Drivers of user behaviour • Land use planning’s strength is developing capacity to respond to drivers of user’s behaviour • Reflexively thinking we can control behaviours = trouble • Drivers bigger than governments and developers • Trends (e.g. savings rates, cost of fuel) • Discontinuities (e.g. internet retail) • Encourage and mitigate • Intervene where necessary (evolution/revolution)
Performance Context ✔ Change in users, function and scale ✔ Future vision of performance ✔ Performance goals Solutions to respond to impacts Impact on context
Measuring Performance • Actual performance can only be measured retrospectively • But we can • Set performance goals • Measure capacity to meet goals • Assess potential impact of specific solutions against goals
Pracsys Performance Metrics • Intensity • Diversity • Employment • Accessibility • Maturity • Urban form
Performance-based decision making • Opportunity to support better AC decision making • Opportunity to better define transport performance in supporting AC development • Solutions must respond to a vision! jmcfarlane@pracsys.com.au
