Description
The Melbourne 2030 planning scheme is the Bracks Government's blueprint for the accommodation of an additional one million people in Melbourne by 2030. The 'Compact City' philosophy behind the plan and the radical administrative measures proposed to achieve its objective will fundamentally reshape the city of Melbourne.
This volume will explore: the intellectual origins of the planning scheme, the demographic assumptions of Melbourne 2030, the mode of implementation, the likely impact on the built environment of Melbourne 2030, the likely environmental and social consequences, as well as heritage outcomes, and alternative planning options.
