In 1959, National Capital Development Commission of Canberra made a Five-year Plan (1959-1964) to construct the city as the capital, the garden city with a safe and efficient traffic and transportation system. After the Five-year Plan, Canberra has an artificial lake which divides the city into northern and the southern districts. To the north of the city, several new residential districts called “neighbourhood” are built to absorb the increasing population. Each “neighbourhood” accommodates approximately 5, 000 people around a primary school and other facilities and is connected to the central facilities by arterial roads. Now, estimating the population growth at a rate of ten thousand peopole per a year, the Commission develops two large residential areas in the northwest and the southwest sides of the city.
