GREAT IDEAS FOR
A GREAT CITY
5000+ an integrated design strategy
for inner Adelaide is supported by the
Department of Regional Australia, Regional
Development & Local Government and is
a joint initiative of the South Australian
Government and the Adelaide City Council,
in association with the seven councils
adjoining Adelaide.

5000+ An Integrated Design
Strategy for Inner Adelaide
5000+ is a project about city
redesign, and city renewal for inner
Adelaide. In South Australia, 5000+
represents a once in a generational
chance to plan and design for the
future and to effect real and lasting
change.
The overarching goal is to
create a vision for inner Adelaide
that sets the direction for the long
term. Alongside the vision will be a
set of guiding principles outlining
community priorities, values and
desirable characteristics of inner
Adelaide in concise statements
as a reference for future design,
development and decision-making.
5000+ embraces the city of Adelaide
and the areas of the seven adjoining
councils: City of Charles Sturt; City
of Prospect; corporation of the Town
of Walkerville; City of Norwood,
Payneham & St Peters; City of
Burnside; City of Unley; and City of
West Torrens.

GREAT IDEAS FOR A GREAT CITY
How do you create a strategy for the
redesign and renewal of inner Adelaide?
You get people talking. Lots of people.
Residents, politicians, architects, planners,
developers, designers, school children,
business owners, city workers, policy makers
and visitors. Anyone with an interest in
the future of the city, or the expertise to
help shape it, can and should be active
participants in the conversation.
The 5000+ project engaged thousands of
people in dozens of forums, community
events, and through online and social media.
Working together across traditional
boundaries, participants uncovered fresh
ideas, new ways of looking at things, and new
opportunities for collaboration.
Through this intense process, 5000+ has
demonstrated a model of engagement that
can serve as a tool for countless projects.
This detailed Engagement Feedback Report
– Great Ideas for a Great City – offers an
account of the thousands of conversations,
and how we designed and managed that
process.

5000+ ENGAGEMENT FEEDBACK REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY vi
“It is a street-by-street process.
The plan that we were given
for this city 175 years ago is a
resilient one. The four terraces
hemming the city square; the
surrounding parklands; the
quiet, safe suburbs; the wine
districts at the southern and
northern ends and the hills
and the beaches to the east
and the west. It has stood us
in great stead. But we can
improve on it.”
