Griffin's Plan for Canberra

Griffin’s Plan for Canberra was a comprehensive urban development strategy proposed by Walter Griffin in the early 20th century. It envisioned a modern, well-organized city with a focus on aesthetics, green spaces, and efficient layout. The plan emphasized broad boulevards, distinct zones for residential, commercial, and government buildings, and incorporated natural features like lakes and parks to create a balanced, picturesque environment. It aimed to foster a functional yet beautiful capital, blending practicality with design, and establishing a cohesive civic identity for Australia’s new federal city.
