The Griffin plan wins the Canberra competition

node

Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin won the international competition for the design of Australia's new federal capital. The layout — geometric axes tied to the surrounding hills, with a central artificial lake — was implemented slowly and repeatedly amended across the following century, which is the main reason it survived.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

  10. Evidence
  11. Supports the 1912 competition win by Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, the plan's continuing structural influence, an ACT population of about 482,000 at the end of 2024, and a territory projection of about 700,000 by 2050. V55 verification basis: retrieved from ACT government material; no Australian Bureau of Statistics release was opened, and the 2050 figure is a territory projection rather than an outcome.
