Internationally Canberra is not on the world map of known cities. Sydney is Australia’s most recognised city for a number of reasons. The identity of Sydney is created via arts, fashion, culture, entertainment, music, architecture, education and tourism, and is also the most populated city of Australia, whereas Canberra was designed for a purpose – the only ‘planned’ city of Australia – for this reason it lacks identity other than the main function of parliament. Canberra has not been able to grow organically meaning it hasn’t adapted to the cultural changes in technology and ways of life. Canberra has the potential to be recognised on a world scale as it essentially should represent Australia.
