This preliminary study investigates the utility of applying a concept of critical urban assemblage to understand the planning, processes and delivery of this Australian waterfront redevelopment. The aim is to go beyond situating the redevelopment as a ‘model’ of success or failure, or the sole result of a neo-liberalized urban regeneration paradigm.en© 2013 Taylor & FrancisCritical urban assemblage; waterfront regeneration; public participationJournal article003002577510.1080/02697459.2013.8585082-s2.0-84896084685179627Oakley, S.
