| Abstract | The increasing acceptance of urban design as an important planning and development framework from the 1960s was mediated through different institutional and place-based circumstances. In Sydney, Australia, a now largely forgotten body, the Civic Design Society, made a significant contribution as ‘a central rallying point for all persons and organizations concerned with fighting ugliness and with making our towns and cities better and more beautiful’. This paper recounts the origins, activities, contributions and legacy of what began as a university club and became an inclusive forum for community and professional engagement in planning, urban renewal, heritage conservation and design issues. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. |
