Placemaking – planning sustainable infrastructure
By taking a placemaking approach to better plan our infrastructure, we can reduce travel distances between home, work, school and other community spaces, and make it easier to access low-emissions alternatives such as public transport.
The Journey to Net Zero report outlines challenges and opportunities for decarbonisation across the transport sector, with an emphasis on placemaking. This report provides case studies and recommendations for collective action across the transport sector to accelerate progress, and create a sustainable, net zero transport sector which enhances and reflects the communities it serves.
Community partnerships and engagement
People and community are an essential facet of rail’s long-term sustainable future. Rail infrastructure in Australasia crosses and connects a diverse range of regional and urban areas, providing transport, employment, and vital connectivity between communities.
The ARA is committed to fostering diversity and inclusion throughout the rail industry through various programs and initiatives, including the Women in Rail and Young Rail Professionals programs.
