Which Australian city was planned rather than founded?
Canberra, Australia's capital city, was planned. Even its location was planned. Since Australia's two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, had been rivals since before the goldrush days, it was decided that the nation's capital should be situated between the two cities. A location was chosen which was 248km from Sydney and 483km from Melbourne, and the name selected was a derivation of the Aboriginal word for 'meeting place'. The competition to design Australia's new capital city, Canberra, was won in 1911 by Walter Burley Griffin. All cities, of course, are planned, rather than found. The location is found, then the city is planned.
