Abstract
The paper presents an approach developed by UrbanGrowth NSW known as the City Transformation Life Cycle™ (UrbanGrowth NSW 2014a) and its application to developing a 25-year urban renewal strategy (a transformation plan) for an area known as The Bays Precinct, Sydney. This case study provides a powerful demonstration of collaborative governance and public value creation (Moore in Creating public value: strategic Management in government, Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press, 1995; Stoker in Public value management: a new narrative for networked governance?, American Review of Public Administration, 2006). UrbanGrowth NSW, as the lead government agency, had the leadership foresight to genuinely share its role as the ‘place-maker’ with other diverse actors to establish the principles that ultimately underpin The Bays Precinct, Sydney Transformation Plan (UrbanGrowth NSW 2014b, c).
