He is best known for his role in shaping the modern growth and development of Perth, Western Australia. BiographyEarly lifeGordon Stephenson was born in 1908. He studied architecture at the University of Liverpool, graduating in 1930. CareerEarly careerHis early career included working with Patrick Abercrombie on the Greater London Plan.[1] Along with Peter Shepheard, he created an influential[2] design for Stevenage, the first post-war British new town, which incorporated a pedestrianised town centre. Perth, Western AustraliaIn 1953, he was commissioned by the state government of Western Australia to produce a plan for the metropolitan area of Perth and Fremantle.[1] The resulting 1955 Plan for the Metropolitan Region was co-authored with Alistair Hepburn and is commonly known as the 'Stephenson-Hepburn Report'. It included an atlas of maps which laid down a broad pattern of future land uses including highways and open space, and catered for significant additional population growth.[3] The report formed the basis for the 1963 Metropolitan Region Scheme for Perth and Fremantle, a legal instrument for regulating land-use and development in the urban area[4] It remained the overarching strategic plan for the development of Perth until it was succeeded by the Corridor Plan for Perth in 1970.[3] Later careerFollowing his work in Perth, he was employed variously as a consultant planner and academic in New Zealand, Canada, and America. In Halifax, Canada, he is known for his 1957 plan to redevelop the entire downtown core as well as the forceful eviction of Africville, a historically black neighborhood. He subsequently returned to Perth and continued to play an important role in its development, amongst other things crafting plans for Joondalup and Midland regional centres, and for the campus of Murdoch University.[5] In later life, he authored several books. DeathHe died on 30 March 1997[6], possibly of a stroke. LegacyOn 28 August 2011, the WA State Government announced that the recently completed building, informally known as one40william would be renamed Gordon Stephenson House.[7] The Planning Department at the University of Liverpool is located in the eponymous Gordon Stephenson Building.
