State of Australian Cities 2011 (Australia)

The State of Australian Cities 2011 report, complied by the Major Cities Unit, was released by the Hon Anthony Albanese MP, Minister for Infrastructure and Transport in October 2011. The report aims to inform policy makers, industry and the community about how Australian cities are progressing in terms of productivity, sustainability and liveability. In turn, the data contained in this report will help underpin policy, planning and investment decisions and provide a framework for ongoing monitoring.

State of Australian Cities 2010 was largely based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) national 2006 Census of Population and Housing and described the main issues affecting cities
with populations of 100,000 or more. This 2011 report supplements the 2010 report updating progress on indicators where data is collected annually. This report also examines in more detail some of the issues described in the 2010 report such as population growth, migration between cities and commuting flows within the largest capital cities.

Chapter 5: Liveability has an extensive discussion about the rates and potential of active travel in Australian cities.
