It is expanding outward while also growing upward through vast new high-rise developments in the inner suburbs. With an estimated 1.6 million additional homes needed by 2050, planners and policymakers need to address current and emerging issues of amenity, function, productive capacity and social cohesion today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlanning Melbourne\u003c\/i\u003e reflects on planning since the post-war era, but focuses in particular on the past two decades and the ways that key government policies and influential individuals and groups have shaped the city during this time. The book examines past debates and policies, the choices planners have faced and the mistakes and sound decisions that have been made. Current issues are also addressed, including housing affordability, transport choices, protection of green areas and heritage and urban consolidation. If Melbourne's identity is to be shaped as a prospering, socially integrated and environmentally sustainable city, a new approach to governance and spatial planning is needed and this book provides a call to action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Uses a single-city focus to address widely applicable current debates in urbanization, governance and planning\u003cbr\u003e* Analyzes Melbourne's historical strategic policies to critique contemporary planning issues\u003cbr\u003e* Reviews Melbourne's spatial planning system, with a focus on strategic land-use planning\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9.6 x 6.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 30, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47477745549565,"sku":"9780643104723","price":57.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/Wt_iR_ioU39780643104723.webp?v=1777503190","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/planning-melbourne-lessons-for-a-sustainable-city-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
