Whilst reading 'A city is not a tree' a few points really stood out to me in regards to the culture in Canberra. Look at these two images I have found online...
Laneway in Melbourne
Downtown Street in Canberra.
Canberra hasn't had an opportunity to create a culture for itself. Melbourne has developed naturally, and turned the un-used spaces to display its culture and creativity. Melbourne has allowed for natural adaptation.
Canberra on the other hand, due to being too well planned has no empty spaces to develop this sense of culture. Everything has been allocated and planned specifically in a certain way, disallowing the opportunity to make Canberra an individual and adaptable city.
