Melbourne could have followed many other cities and removed its tram network, but keeping it helped preserve the character of its inner city. In this video, we explore how the Hoddle Grid, regional and suburban rail, the City Loop, Metro Tunnel and the world’s largest tram network shaped Melbourne’s geography, urban form and mobility. We also look at the contrast between its dense, highly connected centre and its enormous car-dependent suburbs.
