Abstract

Urban consolidation has been the main planning policy in Sydney since the 1980s, but like other planning policies its implementation has been a contested process. For most of this period the policy has been locally unpopular. This paper overviews Sydney's urban consolidation policy evolution, and explores the way in which planning power, political power and market power have been used to make urban consolidation happen in the face of community opposition.
