"Suburban centres policies in Greater Vancouver, metropolitan Melbourne, and \r\nBellevue, Washington are examined to derive general lessons toward the \r\nimprovement of this type of policy. It is found that two attempts to pursue the \r\ndevelopment of a regional system of suburban centres have been unsuccessful, \r\nwhile a municipally-based policy has achieved some success in terms of the \r\nphysical design of a suburban downtown. Patterns of private sector development \r\nare found to have been very little affected by any of the case study policies. \r\nFurther, several assumptions concerning the linkages between public transit and \r\nland use in suburban centres are found to require further careful examination \r\nbefore they should be used as a basis for future policy development."@en
