Description:
Remember when our cities and inner-cities weren't dominated
by high-rise apartments? This book documents the changes that have come with
the globalisation of the Australian city since the 1970s. It tells the story of
the major economic, social, cultural and demographic changes that have come
with opening up of Australia in those years, with a particular focus on the two
biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, which have been transformed. But
throughout it also looks at how these changes have played out in the smaller
capitals and regional centres.
How does one of the most urbanised, multicultural
countries in the world see itself? This book challenges received ideas about
Australia and how it presents itself to the world, and how in turn many
Australians perceive and understand themselves. Rather than rehashing old
stereotypes about mateship, the Bush or Anzac, this book places the globalised
city and its residents at the heart of new understandings of twenty-first
century Australia.
'Our cities are changing fast. Seamus' O'Hanlon tells us how and why, with a keen historian's eye for both the big picture and the local scene. An indispensable guide to the contemporary Australian city.' —Professor Graeme Davison
