List of planned cities

This is a list of planned cities (sometimes known as planned communities or new towns) by country. Additions to this list should be cities whose overall form (as opposed to individual neighborhoods or expansions) has been determined in large part in advance on a drawing board, or which were planned to a degree which is unusual for their time and place.

• Canberra
• Churchill (Victoria) - A service centre for the Hazlewood Power Station and future replacement for Yallourn (see below) and Morwell townships, construction began on Churchill in 1965. The town was planned with a well defined commercial centre, expansive parklands, a mix of government and privately owned quarter-acre town blocks and light industrial estates spaced from residential areas by a belt of parkland. The transport system was to be a network of restricted-access highways and a ring road fully encircling the town. Slow development of services and a slowdown of the state of Victoria's power station construction program meant that Churchill was to never realise it's potential, and population reached a modest level of 5000 by the mid 1980s, a level which has remained static ever since.
• Yallourn (Victoria) - Built in the 1920s to house employees of the nearby Yallourn Power Station complex. At it's peak the town's population reached 5000, however the town was removed in the early 1980s so that the rich underlying brown coal reserves could be used for the Yallourn W Power Station.
