About this book
Remember when our cities and inner-cities weren't dominated by high-rise apartments? This book documents the changes that have come with the globalization of the Australian city since the 1970's. It tells the story of the major economic, social, cultural and demographic changes that have come with the opening up of Australia in those years, with a particular focus on the two biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne. It also looks at how these changes have played out in the smaller capitals and regional centers. This book challenges ideas about Australia and how it presents itself to the world, and how in turn many Australians perceive and understand themselves.
