Description:
Rare plan by showing Mr. J. Barlow’s proposals made for the Royal Commission on Sydney Improvements.
The 1908-1909 Royal Commission on Sydney Improvements had studied numerous issues affecting the city at the turn of the c.20th and put forward a number of future planning proposals. They looked at the transit system, traffic congestion, pollution, housing needs, beautification, open spaces as it was and for its future growth requirements. This was Sydney’s first major planning review. Forty recommendations were put forward some of which were subsequently implement such as; Hickson Road remodeling, Central Railway Station approaches, completion of Martin Place, creation of Anzac Parade, and a number of road widening and extensions.
