Green Belts and Parks, Sydney 1910


PROBLEMS
• Residential, commercial and industrial growth on former open space
• No plan for open space or parkland

SOLUTIONS
Three different parks were renovated around 1910 with different purposes.
Hyde park was to be the beautifying monumental park with axial paths while Centennial park was to be the larger metropolitan urban reserve in which people could escape from the city. The smaller Belmore park was particularly symbolic because it immediately greeted visitors to the city as the exited the grand new Central Station.
