Bowden development, Urban renewal project in western Adelaide, Australia

Bowden is a 16.3-hectare urban renewal site in the City of Charles Sturt, 2 km from Adelaide's centre, bounded by Park Terrace, the Outer Harbor railway line, Drayton Street and Sixth and Seventh Streets. It replaces the former Clipsal factory and the adjoining Brompton Gasworks land with more than 2,400 apartments and terrace homes, shops and offices around a town centre.

Clipsal, a maker of conduit and electrical accessories, occupied the site from 1936. The state government announced its purchase in October 2008 and paid A$52.5 million, as revealed in November 2008. In early 2010 it added the adjoining 5.9-hectare Brompton Gasworks site owned by Origin Energy.

Bowden Town Square opened in 2016 around Bowden Park, the Plant 4 retail hub and the Plant 3 community hub. Plant 4 hosts markets and events in a former Clipsal factory building, while Plant 3 serves as a community venue. The square was the site of the development's largest celebration.

The site lies 2 km from the Adelaide city centre, bounded by Park Terrace, the Outer Harbor railway line, Drayton Street and Sixth and Seventh Streets. Bowden railway station, North Adelaide station, Hawker Street and Port Road buses, and the tram from the Adelaide Entertainment Centre serve the area. Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and part of Gibson Streets opened as pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly streets in May 2013.

The Wardli-ana Tapa Reserve includes a native food garden featuring plants traditionally used by the Kaurna people. This space honors the original connection between the Indigenous community and the land.
