This text explores how architectural and urban design values have
been co-opted by global cities to enhance their economic
competitiveness by creating a superior built environment that is
not just aesthetically memorable but more productive and
sustainable. It focuses on the experience of central Sydney through
its policy commitment to 'design excellence' and more particularly
to mandatory competitive design processes for major private
development. Framed within broader contexts that link it to
comparable urban policy and design issues in the Asia-Pacific
region and globally, it provides a scholarly but accessible volume
that provides a balanced and critical overview of a policy that has
changed the design culture, development expectations, public realm
and skyline of central Sydney, raising issues surrounding the
uneven distribution of benefits and costs, professional practice,
representative democracy, and implications of globalization.
