"Redevelopment of the Queen Victoria Hospital site, which opened in stages from 2003 as Queen Victoria (QV) Village, saw the creation of new laneways' on the block bounded by Lonsdale, Little Lonsdale, Swanston, and Russell streets. Albert Coates Lane (soldier and leading surgeon at the hospital), Jane Bell Lane (hospital matron), Artemis Lane (Greek goddess of childbirth), Shilling Lane (1896 Queen Victoria shilling fundraiser), and Red Cape Lane (nurses' red capes) referenced the medical history of the site. To an extent these new lanes mirrored older urban patterns of the city, but as avatars of the form and function of their historical counterparts, to some they have a blander and less authentic feel." p. 139.
