Canberra Day 1966 essay lauds Canberra as a landmark experiment in city planning. Architect Mr Bolt argues the plan, though imperfect, offers a model of land ownership and growth promising for Australia and the world. Calls for national focus on urban construction amid growth, migration, and rising city costs.
A critique argues that Australian cities rely on ad hoc committee driven planning rather than visionary design. It urges bold, large scale, well planned suburbs with distinct identity, noting government control and half baked solutions as failures while calling for meaningful action and imaginative housing debates.
