From Green Belt to Green Web: Regional Open Space Planning in Sydney, 1948–1963
The 1948 Planning Scheme for the County of Cumberland was the first regional land-use plan prepared for the Sydney area and provided the statutory framework for post-war metropolitan planning. Strongly influenced by Patrick Abercrombie's two seminal 1940s plans for London, the Sydney strategy accorded great weight to the role of open space in structuring metropolitan form. Two central concepts were a green belt, primarily to secure a more compact city, and the Green Web, an open space system intended to both better delineate a mosaic of sub-regional communities and correct serious deficiencies and inequalities in recreational opportunities. This paper charts the contrasting fortunes of these approaches to the provision of regional open space in post-war Sydney.
