Although many of the joys of Australian life are to be found in our cities, many of our problems are as well.
Our bush heritage helped to define our identity, but today Australia is a nation of cities. A higher proportion of Australians live in cities than almost any other country, and most of our national wealth is generated in them. For most of the twentieth century, our cities gave us some of the highest living standards in the world. But they are no longer keeping up with changes in how we live and how our economy works.
The distance between where people live and where they work is growing fast. The housing market isn't working, locking many Australians out of where and how they'd like to live. The daily commute is getting longer, putting pressure on social and family life and driving up living costs.
Instead of bringing us together, Australia's cities are dividing Australians—between young and old, rich and poor, the outer suburbs and the inner city. Neglecting our cities has real consequences for our lives now, and for our future prosperity.
Using stories and case studies to show how individuals, families and businesses experience life in cities today, this book provides an account of why Australia’s cities are broken, and how to fix them.

This book is an excellent insight into how and why our cities are dysfunctional. It explains how our insanely complex planning laws and politics have combined to have over a third of Sydney and Melbourne residents travelling over an hour to get to work. She thoroughly explains how the demise of manufacturing and the needs of corporate society mean that no meaningful decentralisation will ever happen. Even if you have had no previous interest in this subject, there is much here to keep you fascinated throughout.Product details

City Limits Why Australia cities are broken and how we can fix them edition by JaneFrances Kelly Paul Donegan Arts Photography eBooks Reviews
If you're looking for City Limits, the 1985 post-apocalyptic biker gang movie starring Kim Cattrall before Sex and the City made her famous, STOP - this is not that film. It's not even a novel based on the film. It's something else entirely.
A little simplistic perhaps but thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking. Something to mull over next time you're stuck in traffic and wondering if there is a better way.
