Abstract
This paper is set within the context of late 20th century Australian capital city revitalisation. It focuses on Adelaide, South Australia, and in particular on the remaking of a sector of the city known as the West End. The paper refers to cultural regeneration, one strand in the capital city revitalisation literature, to the revival of attention to urban design from the 1980s and to a concomitant refocusing on the public realm through urban design-led regeneration initiatives. The paper adopts a case study approach centring on the University of South Australia’s City West campus that opened in 1997 in Adelaide’s West End. The discussion introduces the historical and physical context of the campus site, as well as the City of Adelaide Plan 1991-1996. The influence of these and other factors on the City West plan, by Raffen Maron Architects, is considered along with the contributions of the new campus to the revitalisation of the West End and especially to the North Terrace West and Hindley Street West precincts where it is situated.
