Juanita Nielsen
Juanita Nielsen was a prominent Australian activist and journalist known for her fierce advocacy for urban planning reforms and affordable housing in Sydney during the 1970s. Her opposition to the proposed redevelopment of Victoria Street and Woolloomooloo into high-rise buildings brought attention to the need for public consultation and community involvement in planning decisions. Nielsen's efforts played a crucial role in the adoption of green bans by the Builders' Labourers Federation, which aimed to protect heritage areas and low-cost housing from destructive development. Her legacy continues to influence discussions on urban planning and housing affordability in Sydney.
