      abstract = {This book examines the planning of cities in global  transition, looking at Australia?s Greater Sydney as a case  example. The focus is on metropolitan districts (groups of  municipalities) within the Greater Sydney region. The  subjects of global transition and sustainable urban  planning (SUP) are introduced in Chapter 1. How Greater  Sydney approaches planning of its region and its districts  is then outlined in Chapter 2. In this chapter, three case  study districts are selected for critiquing planning in the  face of population and new development changes. The  districts, beyond the City of Sydney, are: Sydney Inner  West, Greater Parramatta and St George. The book further  outlines a methodology to assess planning practices within  each of the municipalities (twelve case study  municipalities in all within the three districts). Included  here are State planning principles applying to Greater  Sydney, with key principals selected to apply to the case  study municipalities and to each district as a unit.},
