Adelaide CBD

Adelaide's CBD is very easy to explore, thanks to Colonel William Light, the first Surveyor-General of the colony. On the gently sloping plain between the Mount Lofty Ranges and the sea, Light designed a block of 2.6 square kilometres (1 square mile) for the city centre, divided it with a grid of broad streets running north-south and east-west, and surrounded it with attractive parks. At the centre he placed a square, and another square in each quarter of the city. Today Light's plan is recognised as a work far ahead of its time. The design is largely responsible for the leisurely pace of Adelaide, a city free of the usual urban woes of traffic jams and concrete canyons.
