The Man Who Sold Sydney's Green Belt edit

Embarrassingly, the best (city) plan ever produced in this country is still the 1948 Cumberland County Plan. It had five core ingredients: realism, imagination, clarity, intelligence and honesty. It had a clear purpose – containing sprawl within a green belt – and although it failed, that was due to political weakness (Pat Hills flogging the green belt out the back door before the ink was dry) not bad planning. http://www.smh.com.au/comment/a-real-city-needs-more-than-just-tying-up-loose-ends-20141217-128zdi.html Engleham (talk) 15:56, 17 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
