On the 175th birthday of the city of Melbourne, Professor Miles Lewis says the city needs to overcome a long history of 'planning anarchy' to continue to grow.
"Planners have lost their vision of what planning needs to be. When town planning was introduced here after World War 2 it was seen to be a rather socialist activity, where you distributed the goods across the community in the best possible way. Now it's seen to be a task of facilitating development, which it shouldn't be."
