Answer 2

Canberra, the capital city of Australia, was planned by Walter Burley Griffin, an American architect and planner. He won the competition in 1912 to design the city, and his plan was based on the idea of creating a garden city with a blend of nature and modern urban design. Canberra was officially founded in 1913, and its design incorporated a combination of natural elements and geometric planning.

• Patrick Geddes (A): A Scottish urban planner, known for his work in city planning and regional planning, but not responsible for planning Canberra.
• Jean Gottmann (C): A geographer who was known for his work on urban geography, but not involved in Canberra's design.
• George Zipf (D): Known for his work in geography and urban studies, but not associated with the planning of Canberra.

Therefore, Walter Burley Griffin is the correct answer.
