Like Vancouver (with which it shares the status of world’s most livable city), the Melbourne region is an overlapping mix of walking core, transit corridor and car-dependent suburb.  But Melbourne has become an even better city than it was, at least in its central area. 

This issue also takes a closer look at the pedestrian and cycling bridges that have been built in Melbourne and Brisbane (in part because they are river cities).   But in this case, Brisbane is an even better example than Melbourne.
