It focuses on the experience of central Sydney through its policy commitment to ?design excellence? and more particularly to mandatory competitive design processes for major private development. Framed within broader contexts that link it to comparable urban policy and design issues in the Asia-Pacific region and globally, it provides a scholarly but accessible volume that provides a balanced and critical overview of a policy that has changed the design culture, development expectations, public realm and skyline of central Sydney, raising issues surrounding the uneven distribution of benefits and costs, professional practice, representative democracy, and implications of globalization. 001360009 650_0 $$aSociology, Urban. 001360009 650_0 $$aArchitecture. 001360009 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001360009 7001_ $$aDavison, Gethin.,$$eauthor. 001360009 7001_ $$aHu, Richard.,$$eauthor. 001360009 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9789811320552. 001360009 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9789811320576. 001360009 852__ $$bebk 001360009 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-2056-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001360009 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1360009$$pGLOBAL_SET 001360009 980__ $$aBIB 001360009 980__ $$aEBOOK 001360009 982__ $$aEbook 001360009 983__ $$aOnline 001360009 994__ $$a92$$bISE
