Abstract
The chapter firstly reviews the background to Redfern and Waterloo , suburbs within the Inner South area of the City of Sydney. The main planning issue in the Redfern and Waterloo District, the public and private housing balance, is reviewed. That issue takes the reader to the early 1970s when Waterloo was planned to accommodate a major public residential redevelopment project (including the imposition of green bans) (Chaps. 3 and 4). Indicators of sustainability (as adopted in Chap. 1) are then applied to the District to gauge the extent of urban sustainability achieved by 2014. This is examined particularly in the context of the planning issue of public and private housing balance. Finally, conclusions are reached and lessons learned are outlined.
Dedication This chapter is dedicated to William Redfern (1774–1833), leading surgeon in early colonial New South Wales (Plate 6.1).
