Multi-Function Polis (MFP) project, which was aiming at developing a futuristic international city including both ‘high-tech’ and ‘high-touch’ functions in cooperation with Australian and Japanese by attracting industrial investment, had started since Jan. 1988. Although the project site was decided near Adeleide through a long series of discussions in June. 1990, few foreign investors emerged there, this project is now stopping at a pilot development stage. In order to get findings to be useful for following similar projects, we analyze the contents of all of 204 news articles about MFP project. There can be seen seven stages in the MFP history. Especially, focusing on the articles in ‘Public Involvement stage’, we examine two kinds of misunderstandings; one is a discussion on ‘enclave problem’ based on rumors and suspicions, another is about how Australian news media had reported investment willingness of Japanese companies. Comparing with a Castells & Halls' study, the causes are considered. The results suggest that there existed excessive complexity in the original MFP concept. We can also observe the project promotion actors had failed to build a good public relationship, especially to Australian domestic news media.
