             GSDS Masterplan. The designs for the 11 hectare Green Square Town Centre and the 11.25ha.
             ACI (Meriton) site were both chosen through competitions. The winning schemes are said to.
             incorporate South Sydney's special character of heritage cottages and industrial landscape. The.
             centre of the Green Square Town Centre development includes a large town square which.
             features the Alexandra Canal and green open space surrounding the railway station.

             urban design and planning" (New Planner, 1999: 10).This paper will examine claims such as that above by analysing the urban design principles underpinning both the GSDS Masterplan and the ACI Site Masterplan against some well known.
