Abstract: This paper provides the first findings from a study of the art of government (AoG) of Mega Urban Transport Projects (MUTPs), being undertaken on three Australian MUTPS . Using Foucault’s conceptualisation of AoG within the broader theory of governmentality, the paper attempts to identify the amalgam of knowledge, technology and rationality within which Melbourne’s City Link freeway project came about and was implemented. The paper leverages data collected from twenty interviews and a profile of the project developed for OMEGA Project 2, an international study on MUTPs. Following an adapted version of the method proposed by Mitchell Dean, the paper traces the construction of the problem and solution which City link represents, and one of the technologies used in the project, to determine the specific AoG of Melbourne’s City Link project. What becomes apparent is that the AoG of MUTP is strongly characterised by the general AoG of project, albeit with particularisations generated by the size and unique characteristics of the project, and it’s utilisation for transport.
