How dense are we ?

[ACT Light Rail]

Hello Light Railers,

The sticker suggestions have been flooding in, please continue to
bombard us with your ideas. The winner will be announced at the next
ACT Light Rail meeting.

I have found an excellent article on teh relationship between urban
density and transport planning, by Professor Paul Mees.

How dense are we? Another look at urban density and transport patterns
in Australia, Canada
and the USA

This is an excellent study which we can use to address the criticism
that Canberra does not have the density to suit light rail.
