Neighbourhood Preservation in Tourist Precinct

Rauscher, Raymond Charles / Momtaz, Salim

The chapter firstly examines the background to Kings CrossKings Cross, a suburb within the City EastCity East area of the City of Sydney. A main planning issue in Kings Cross that has been central to development of that locality is reviewed. That issue is neighbourhood preservation in an expanding tourist precinct, in particular conflicts over development proposals in the early 1970s (including adoption of green bans in Kings Cross). Criteria of sustainability are then applied to Kings Cross to gauge the extent of urban sustainability achieved by 2014, particularly in the context of the neighbourhood preservation. Finally, conclusions are reached and lessons learned are outlined.
