Targets for Resilient Cities
The document discusses strategies for creating resilient cities through effective integration of land use and transport planning, emphasizing the need for sustainable infrastructure and investment. It highlights challenges like aging populations and increasing transport demands, urging for a shift in policy to prioritize long-term sustainability goals. The Tipping Point Institute advocates for clarity in stakeholder roles and certainty in policy to achieve these aims and respond effectively to future urban challenges.

An unsustainable future Not planning for the known is unsustainable • Transport will remain oil dependant beyond 2050 • Development land will be progressively more expensive • The developed world will have a median age over 50 • The price of energy will more than double in real terms • The population will not stabilise before 2050 • The operational life of today’s planning extends past 2050 Kym Lennox NSW Transport Infrastructure Summit 2010 – Enabling the Private Sector November 2010

Up to 1% of GDP will be lost every year to car park infrastructure investment The cost of the infrastructure to park the additional vehicle fleet in 2050 will cost at least $400 per year per head for the next 40 years and consume up to 100 km2 of green field land across Greater Sydney.

- 19. Framework Express the targets Government policy should define and express targets that over time shift land-use to limit the resource intensity of the transport demand. Targets must be measurable and aspirational Kym Lennox NSW Transport Infrastructure Summit 2010 – Enabling the Private Sector November 2010
- 20. Framework Establish the external benefits Policy and the public sector must establish the external benefits and clearly define the roles of stakeholders in any target. A clear role for government provides a certainty of the economics and defines their participation as regulator and financial contributor. Kym Lennox NSW Transport Infrastructure Summit 2010 – Enabling the Private Sector November 2010
- 21. Framework Embed the role of the Stakeholders Clarity is key to risk taking. Roles can not be defined by what another stakeholder is not doing. The policy and regulatory framework must clearly express and embed the roles and their communication obligations. What is: the role of each department? The role of council? The communication to the community? The controls to ensure achieving the strategic goal? Kym Lennox NSW Transport Infrastructure Summit 2010 – Enabling the Private Sector November 2010
- 22. Framework Ensure Certainty Certainty connects plans with implementation. Funding will not be maintained without certainty. Certainty is not rigidity in the face of a changing world, it is keeping to the strategic goal. Transparency and participation in the decision making process provides certainty through predictable change.

- 25. About the TippingPoint Institute The Tipping Point Institute (TTPI) is an established consultancy that focuses on developing and disseminating responses to the carbon constrained reality of the 21st century. TTPI provides its clients clarity and context for their participation in a sustainable future. TTPI’s focus is to: • define the targets through what we term ‘carbon economics’; • deliver outcomes with best practice in infrastructure optimisation and planning; • support public sector procurement and tender responses; and • keep on target through programme governance. Society and the economy are at a tipping point such that the consequences of people’s actions and inactions will ripple through many generations to follow. TTPI seeks to be an active participant as Australia and the world manage the next stage towards a sustainable future. The organisation’s strategic goals are therefore to: 1. Integrate sustainability and consideration of carbon constraints into the decision processes of Government, the private sector and every individual. 2. Lead and disseminate a structured leadership that is apolitical. 3. Promote and improve best practice methods that address the complexity of today’s challenges.
