abstract = "This paper argues that there are distinctive characteristics in the spatial strategies constructed for the state capital cities of Australia. To investigate this hypothesis, the paper conducts a review of the major plans produced since the Second World War, and the reasons they take
the form they do. It finds that there are strong common features in the plans formulated from the end of the war until the 1980s. After a period of neglect, metropolitan strategies are then made by state governments, all of them ruled by Labor governments, in the 2002-2009 period. While these
strategies amplify and extend these distinctive characteristics, more uncertain and dynamic conditions mean that they need frequent revision and connection with infrastructure, transportation and state development plans.",
