5. Not only is the notional catchment for Hillarys much larger, there is also a greater proportion of the area (shaded red ) with no proximity to any centre at all. This area is highly car dependant on the Hillarys regional centre . Sprawl Suburb: Hillarys Traditional Suburb: Subiaco District Centre Town Centre The traditional Subiaco centre is smaller and supported by a cluster of neighbourhoods via direct transit connections. Subiaco as a result achieves much greater residential densities and employment self-sufficiency . Australian Urban Models: Case Study # 1. Perth How Suburbs Work - Self-Sufficiency

11. 1. Walkable Neighbourhoods cluster together to form mixed use Towns Typically in the Australian Liveable Neighbourhoods structure, the mixed use town centre serves around 15,000 to 30,000 people, and is supported by six to nine neighbourhoods. It contains a main-street based convenience retail node ideally with two supermarkets, together with service businesses, substantial commercial uses, civic and recreational facilities. Typically one in ten towns within a metropolis enlarge to become a regional centre , and contain major hospital, civic, educational and office uses. It serves around 100,000+ people.

22. Molonglo Valley, Canberra To ensure that places will work well, we need to design them out as pieces of cities and towns . The structuring approach is based on good examples of traditional cities, together with responses to current parameters. The town-scaled circle templates are a representation of what will work when adjusted to the site. Constraints must be interrogated to ensure urbanism is not fractured by green. 5. Regional Structuring Examples: Conclusion
24. “ It is no coincidence that Clarence Perry retreated to the centre, in a relatively isolationist, exclusive and defensive fashion, separating social institutions from the life of commerce which he kept on the edge. Oh, and by the way, he blew away Main Street in one fell swoop.” …Paul Murrain Perry identified a walkable neighbourhood based on a five minute walk from community facilities within the centre of a residential ‘cell’. The commercial elements were located at the junction of the arterial routes. This diagram separates Community within a ‘neighborhood center’ from Commerce along arterials outside the neighborhoods. The Perry Diagram

26. Perry Transposed By transposing the Perry circles onto the movement economy and commerce , the Liveable Neighbourhoods structure becomes apparent, whereby a cluster of neighbourhoods supports a town centre . Only land expansive community uses such as large-format schools are located in the interstices between neighbourhoods .
27. Routing Problem: with this diagram, Public Transport must either serve the town center along the main boulevard/s, or else also loop inefficiently through all four NCs, or both, all of which options will compromise transit times and services. Relative performance: Public Transport A Prototype for Heavy Rail with Feeder Buses: Bus routes feed each Neighbourhood Centre, en route through Town Centre, either running both north-south and east-west in an expansive region, or as localized ‘spider’ feeder route, supplementing heavy rail service
28. 4 neighborhoods 8-9 neighborhoods (inc TC) Retail Performance: Twice the capacity to generate sufficient population to enable a relatively self-sufficient mixed-use town center, which can improve on the role of large conventional stand-alone centers Relative Performance: Centres

Transit Corridor from Sustainable Urbanism , by Doug Farr Attempts to illustrate transit for all modes - transit corridor bypasses neighborhood centers (only appropriate for heavy rail) 39 neighborhoods but only one city/town center, and difficult, with paired neighborhoods, for others to mature into a larger center/s, supported by smaller ones clustering to it.

The greater Diversity of Land Use in a traditional area like Subiaco provides more housing, lifestyle and employment choices for local residents whilst reducing the need to travel further for their needs.
C entres linear with strong movement economy, partly because of trams
Brisbane Inner West The through streets within the inner west follow the distinctive topography of ridgelines and water courses. Centres are plentiful and varied, located in accessible and often visible locations, generally at the intersections of the through streets. Larger centres are found on higher order streets, with smaller centres on less busy streets or along streets where adequately separated from neighbouring centres. Neighbourhood Structure A settlement structure comprising walkable neighbourhoods scaled on the 400 metre radius, five minute walk. Retail and commercial centres are at the centres of the circles. The drawing shows the close clustering of neighbourhoods, in some cases with significant overlap, while in others where there is less through traffic, less catchment and more parkland, spacings are closer to 1-1.2 km.

Each TC is sized to its catchment and big enough to serve the catchment - no larger otherwise weakens other centres
Every single town centre worth its salt has its own catchment
Community and Commerce generally have always co-located within urban centers at intersecting trade routes, to their mutual benefits
When establishing public transport and movement networks, these networks should link and ‘feed’ every urban center (including neighborhood centers), with efficient public transport coverage, which will in turn augment economic feasibility. Except when they radially converge to a town or city center, public transport routes generally run straight and roughly parallel for maximum coverage and route efficiency between major destinations, generally spacing themselves no closer than about half a mile (800m), so that walking distance to transport stops is generally no more than about five minutes. An intersecting grid of such public transport routes (with multi-modal interchanges) often forms across a successful and expansive urban area

Some might say the Jeffersonian Grid in America precludes this structure of smaller arterials spaced at 800m (half mile) and forces bigger arterials on America. Is it not actually a generally unrecognised US-wide problem that should be fixed? The diagram below shows how structured urbanism fits within the Jeffersonian mile grid
