Chapter 8 is set within a theoretical framework of transport theory founded on urban economics, planning, and place theory. Australia's unique geography of widely separated capital cities and diffuse but congested urban agglomerations have a profound effect on the nature and cost of providing transport infrastructure to both integrate cities and provide transport within cities. The urban transport network (transport shed) and the characteristics of transport infrastructure including the scale of investment are described. An analysis is then made of modal choice as a function of geography and infrastructure. Transport policy is described, with a focus on intergovernmental considerations in finance and management of the Australian transport network. The final section focuses particularly on Australian intra‐urban transport.
