Reconstruction and Deconstruction of the Foundation of South Australia as a Nineteenth-Century Strategic Planning Process and How it Might Compare with Current Planning Practice
This article does three things. It reconstructs the narrative about the foundation of South Australia in the 1830s as a strategic planning process. It then deconstructs that analysis to explore the issues it addresses and the outcomes. Finally, it reviews the South Australian experience to see if there are valid comparisons to be made with current practice and what lessons it might offer in that regard. In doing that it briefly reviews one presen…
Can We Plan Too Much? – The Case of the 2010 Metropolitan Strategy for Adelaide
With a Labor government in power in South Australia since 2002, a series of interlocking plans for the state have been developed of which the most important are the strategic plan for the state, the strategic infrastructure plan for the state and the metropolitan strategy for Greater Adelaide. The metropolitan strategy of 2010 reflected the ambitious population and employment targets of the state strategic plan and provided a liberal supply of re…
How Is the Compact City Faring in Australia
Australia has some of the lowest density cities in the world. However, in recent years the more compact city has become the orthodoxy of state capital city planning. Since 2000, long-range metropolitan strategies have been produced, planning the compact city. But in every state, each has been replaced by another one within a few years, frequently with different provisions. The metropolitan planning process is seen as in transition from the previo…
New Century Australian Spatial Planning
This paper discusses a recentralization of spatial planning in Australia since 2000, during which Labor governments have been predominant. The new planning initiatives have primarily reflected an imperative to improve capital city competitiveness and development levels in general. A second driver has been a desire to make development more ecologically sustainable. The paper demonstrates this recentralization in state plans, state infrastructure s…
Metropolitan strategic planning
This article describes the characteristics of a distinctively Australian paradigm of metropolitan planning which reflect circumstances of governance, infrastructure provision and concentration on suburban expansion into surrounding countryside. The resultant plans are detailed in their arrangement of land use and communications, comprehensive and long term. There are indications this paradigm may be changing as these dominating influences alter i…
Why and how did Adelaide come about
The research question raised in the title of this contribution was essentially that which I posed myself when investigating the foundation of the new colony of South Australia in the 1830s [1]. The
Building the Connection Between Housing Needs and Metropolitan Planning in Sydney, Australia
The theme of a more compact city has been a central feature of planning policy for Sydney's development over the last two decades. Urban consolidation, in the form of attached dwellings in medium- and high-density configurations, has become the predominant form of new residential development since the early 1990s. One of the largely untested claims for this policy is that it provides more housing choice for an increasingly diverse population and …
Prospects for the Rural‐Urban Fringe in Australia
Despite being a major site of recent population growth and, arguably, a key arena for sustainability concerns, the rural‐urban fringe has received relatively little attention in the literature concerning Australian cities and urban policy. To address this shortcoming the authors review post‐World War II efforts to plan the rural‐urban fringes of Sydney and Adelaide and find a number of issues for contemporary policy‐makers. First, the fringe is b…
Using GIS as an Aid to Understanding Urban Consolidation
Major initiatives to encourage urban consolidation in Sydney have been undertaken by the New South Wales Government in the last twenty years. The contribution of the research described in this article is to show the central importance of GIS in the methodology of analysing the policies, processes and outcomes of this urban consolidation activity. While the use of GIS to interrogate data from the Population Censuses conducted by the Australian Bur…
