Abstract

This study examines the development of pedestrian malls in Sydney Metropolitan Area since the 1960s and analyses conditions and actual usage by pedestrians. Field surveys and interviews with local councils were carried out to study locations, historical background and reasons for introduction, land use, facilities and management of pedestrian malls. For the usage analysis, volumes and activities of pedestrians on the malls are surveyed for 10 of the existing 18 malls. The malls are categorized into four types by the results; high-use malls, access malls, stay malls and low-use malls. The level of usage, character and function of the malls vary depending on the location and surrouning land use.
