Suburban centres policies in Greater Vancouver, metropolitan Melbourne, and
Bellevue, Washington are examined to derive general lessons toward the
improvement of this type of policy. It is found that two attempts to pursue the
development of a regional system of suburban centres have been unsuccessful,
while a municipally-based policy has achieved some success in terms of the
physical design of a suburban downtown. Patterns of private sector development
are found to have been very little affected by any of the case study policies.
Further, several assumptions concerning the linkages between public transit and
land use in suburban centres are found to require further careful examination
before they should be used as a basis for future policy development.
