Canberra is a city and there has never been another city built within it. However due to Canberra's expansion, its planners adopted the (somewhat faulty and stupid) 'Y' plan. The Y plan was to have a 'town centre' located within each major district, and the position of the centres when connected make a 'Y'. Belconnen and Gungahlin are the topmost points of the Y, converging in Civic- or the city- in the centre of the letter before moving down through Woden to Tuggeranong at the bottom of the Y.
The new district of Mollongolo however, goes against this plan in an effort to reduce Canberra's huge urban sprawl.
