Abstract
ABSTRACT Existing urban morphology trajectories influence how planning interventions shape future development. Here, we use six purposefully selected neighborhoods, encompassing 10,519 individual properties, to analyze parcel-specific land use, zoning, and property boundary change over seven decades, to better understand the transformation of Brisbane, Australia. Our findings demonstrate the difficulty of overcoming the path dependency of urban morphology when attempting to deliver a contemporary goal of densifying existing urban areas. We highlight the need to tailor land use policy to specific neighborhoods by considering the differences in their existing urban morphology. This is particularly relevant when seeking to achieve densification in both regular, gridded neighborhoods and post–World War II suburbs with motorway infrastructure, neighborhood units and internal, curvilinear streets.
