AIUS Objectives

People today are keenly interested in urban affairs and in the way our cities are changing. Naturally, they hope these changes are for the better, and that they improve the quality of life for everyone who lives in an urban environment.

Often they find they have no voice and AIUS in WA is able to provide this in an open and independent fashion.

Our objectives are to:

  • Encourage, promote and undertake practical, action-oriented research into all aspects of urban affairs;
  • Disseminate authoritative information and publicise and stimulate awareness of urban issues;
  • Promote initiatives to improve the quality and efficiency of life in Australia's cities and towns;
  • Give independent advice to all levels of government on urban issues;
  • Evaluate the impact of public policies and practices on urban areas and their inhabitants;
  • Co-operate with other organisations which share our interests.
