Abstract：

Sydney, as a mature and well-established city, is now facing challenges arisen from the soaring population and the resulting shortage of infrastructure, housing and ecological resources as the multiculturalism immigration policy has been implemented for years. In 2016, a newly founded organization, the Greater Sydney Commission, made Greater Sydney Region Plan: A Metropolis of Three Cities. This paper briefly summarizes the development of Greater Sydney and the problems it faces. It then analyzes the regional plan and extracts its experiences under the background of China’s development, and comes up with some crucial strategies to nurture a polycentric metropolitan area: correspondent regional coordination mechanism and governance tool; well-balanced regional industrial cooperation and layout pattern; adaptive supply and sharing mechanism for infrastructure.
