Cities in Global Transition
Raymond Charles Rauscher • Salim Momtaz
This book examines the planning of cities in global transition (e.g., population move-
ments), looking at how sustainable urban planning (SUP) practices can be applied to
plans and development within these cities. Australia’s Greater Sydney is taken as a
case example, with focus on municipalities and districts (groups of municipalities).
The subjects of global transition and SUP are introduced in Chap. 1. How Greater
Sydney approaches planning is outlined in Chap. 2. Here, three case study districts
are selected for critiquing the extent SUP is being applied. The districts, beyond the
city of Sydney, are Sydney Inner West, Greater Parramatta, and St. George. A meth-
odology to assess SUP practices within each of the municipalities (twelve in all)
within the three districts is then outlined. Three key SUP principles are selected from
international protocols (i.e., United Nations) to apply to the municipalities and dis-
tricts. These principles are central to all chapters and include (1) developing sustain-
able urban centers, (2) developing sustainable transport, and (3) protecting the
natural environment.
In determining how each municipality is applying SUP practices, the first ques-
tion is as follows: what is the pattern of development and population change (e.g.,
global population movements) the municipality is experiencing? In addressing this,
four phases of municipal development are examined (early, traditional, new, and
future). From here, key plans of the municipal council are critiqued to determine the
extent of SUP practices being applied. The next question is as follows: what is the
impact of Greater Sydney planning and development on the municipality (including
recent proposals for council amalgamations)? Examples of state plans are critiqued
and an overall conclusion is reached on whether each municipality is meeting (and
can meet in the future) the challenges of planning and development with SUP
practices.
Moving from municipal- to district-level planning and development, the first
question is as follows: what is the extent the state is applying SUP practices?
Examples of state plans and developments for each district are critiqued under the

adopted three SUP principles. From these critiques, overall conclusions are reached
on the extent of SUP practices being addressed by the state within each district. The
final chapter (Chap. 18) reviews all conclusions (Chaps. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15, 16, and 17) with a focus on directions for planning and developing a
sustainable Greater Sydney. The final question in this chapter is as follows: how can
cities anywhere in the world apply SUP practices in planning and development, in
particular to address factors of global transition impacting on those cities?
