Abstract
The chapter firstly reviews the background to Glebe , a suburb within the North West area of the City of Sydney. The main planning issue of building on the strength of traditional neighbourhoods is reviewed. Criteria of sustainability (as adopted in Chap. 1) are then applied to Glebe to gauge the extent of urban sustainability achieved by 2014, particularly in the context of building on traditional neighbourhoods. Finally, conclusions are reached and lessons learned are outlined.
Dedication This chapter is dedicated to Richard Johnson (1756–1827), first Christian cleric in Australia (Plate 10.1).
