"Imagine a city where everyone can afford a safe home, reach work or school
without long, stressful commutes, and enjoy green parks and clean air.
This is Anthony Albanese’s decade-long vision for Australia’s cities after last
week’s release of the new National Urban Policy (NUP).
As Transport and Infrastructure Minister in 2011, he introduced
Our Cities,
Our Future. Then in 2021, as opposition leader, he pledged a new urban
framework.
The new NUP now sets the course for transforming Australia’s cities.
However, as our cities grow, so do the complexities they face: a housing
crisis, locking out households, heavier traffic, and rising temperatures caused
by climate changes.
These challenges can disproportionately affect low-income and vulnerable
communities, especially in our outer suburbs.
The new NUP aims to address all of that, but the big question remains: does it
go far enough to build the cities we need for the future?"
