The document provides background information on Canberra, Australia's planned capital city. It discusses how Canberra was selected as the site for the new capital in 1908-1909. American architect Walter Burley Griffin's winning design from 1912 included axes centered around a artificial lake and separation of governmental and residential areas. Construction began in 1913 but was slowed by lack of funding and World War 1. The city grew gradually in the following decades and faced further delays from the Depression and World War 2. Rapid growth in the 1950s-60s led to expansion projects under the National Capital Development Commission to develop the city according to Griffin's original plan and design new satellite towns to accommodate the growing population.
