Canberra – Australia
The planned city of Canberra lies within the Australian Capital Territory between the larger cities of Sydney and Melbourne. Designed in the early 20th century as the political center of the nation, Canberra was carefully planned around landscaped avenues, lakes, and civic institutions.
The city’s central feature, Lake Burley Griffin, is surrounded by important national buildings including Parliament House, major museums, and cultural institutions. Canberra’s layout reflects a balance between urban development and open green space.
Today Canberra serves as the administrative heart of Australia and a center for national museums and cultural landmarks.
