‘Relational’ Planning and Recent Sydney Metropolitan and City Strategies*
Planning theorists have increasingly argued for more ‘relational’ strategic plans that are conceptual rather than deterministic, with an emphasis on nodes and flows. Contemporary city strategies in Europe have incorporated this approach, but metropolitan strategies in Australia have remained very detailed and deterministic, reflecting historical institutional and other development circumstances. Nevertheless, this situation might be changing. The NSW state government's recent Metro2036 strategy for Sydney and Sydney City Council's Sustainable Sydney 2030 strategy for Sydney City both place relational planning features at their centre, notably the global economic corridor in the former and the five themes that constitute the Strategy Map in the latter. The article examines the rationale and role of these relational elements in the two strategies.
