Planning Melbourne: Lessons for a Sustainable City

This book intends to fill a gap in the study of Melbourne's planning system. It draws from historical sources and analyses strategic policies from the first Melbourne plan to help critique a range of contemporary issues facing Melbourne. Its subject is the spatial planning system, with a particular focus on strategic land-use planning and the supporting regulatory system. A wide range of complex environmental, economic and social challenges underpin this study of Melbourne and these warrant further examination.
