While we cannot know how much Australia will continue to grow, we can assume that it will and, as a community, we need to consider what sort of cities and suburbs we want to live in. This fascinating book will hopefully trigger debate among the broader community about the future of our cities and housing. It looks at the dwelling as the basic element of our cities, from the house to the apartment building, before going on to trace the development of suburbia from Australian urban and dwelling prototypes to the contemporary city and the choices we have before us.
