## Resource

Melbourne’s iconic Town Hall corner is in the crosshairs of a dramatic urban showdown: Lendlease’s revised plans for a 16-story tower—doubling the original height—threaten to overshadow historic buildings and cast oppressive shadows over public spaces. The City Council rejected the redesign, citing environmental and design concerns, leaving the fate in the hands of the Victorian Minister for Planning. The developer claims the new design “better aligns with the current market,” but critics argue this is a missed chance to preserve the soul of a beloved city intersection.
