Уугуул өв соёлыг эрхэмлэсэн хот төлөвлөлт: Энэ юу вэ, яагаад чухал вэ?

Эх орон /country / бол Австралийн уугуул ард түмний өв соёл, уламжлалын гол цөм юм. Бидний оршин байгаа энэ нутагт анхны үндэстнүүдийн олон арван мянган жилийн түүх, хэл, соёл, бүхий л амьд оршихуйн холбоог агуулж байдаг. Тиймээс архитекторууд, засгийн газрын байгууллагууд болон уран бүтээлчид хотын орчинг төлөвлөхдөө уугуул мэдлэгтэй хэрхэн харьцах ёстой вэ?

Country-led design reasserts the primacy of the place where an infrastructure project is situated.
