Stowe's design wasn't just a different bridge — it predicted an entirely different Sydney. With three centers instead of two, Balmain would have become a bustling commercial hotspot and North Sydney would have stayed a quiet suburb. The host's framing lands the idea: 'Cities grow around infrastructure... like drops of water on stone, over time, every addition has a big impact on how the city evolves around it.' Pick the bridge, and you pick the city.
