Abstract
The chapter firstly reviews the background of the South Sydney District growth centre, a district within the City South area of the City of Sydney. The main planning issue of South Sydney District (planning and developing a growth centre within an inner city area) will be reviewed. The planning of this growth centre (started in the 1980s) and its development to date (2014) will be examined in the context of sustainable urban development principles. Indicators of sustainability (as adopted in Chap. 1) will then be applied to South Sydney to gauge the extent of urban sustainability achieved by 2014 (with reference to growth centre planning). Finally, conclusions are reached and lessons learned are outlined.
Dedication This chapter is dedicated to Sir James Joynton Smith KBE (1858–1943), Australian hotelier, racecourse owner and newspaper proprietor, and 48th Lord Mayor of Sydney (Plate 11.1).
