Abstract
The chapter firstly reviews the background to Erskineville, a suburb within the Inner West area of the City of Sydney. A main planning issue in Erskineville is redevelopment versus rehabilitation of the suburb, particularly focusing on planning events in the early 1970s (including resident opposition to redevelopment plans at the time). Indicators of sustainability (as adopted in Chap. 1) are then applied to the suburb to gauge the extent of urban sustainability achieved by 2014. Finally, conclusions are reached and lessons learned are outlined.
