Abstract
The chapter firstly reviews the background to the Haymarket District, a district within the ‘City West’ area of the City of Sydney. A main planning issue in the Haymarket District that has been central to development of that district is reviewed. That issue is how to protect neighbourhoods while integrating development precincts within the district, in particular State initiated development proposals (1970s to present 2014). Indicators of sustainability (as adopted in Chap. 1) are then applied to the Haymarket District to gauge the extent of urban sustainability achieved by 2014, particularly in the context of the on ground author survey (2009–2014) and planning issues of neighbourhood protection. Finally, conclusions are reached and lessons learned are outlined.
Dedication This chapter is dedicated to George McRea (1858–1923), who served as Government Architect of NSW (Plate 8.1).
