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 significant economic, social, cultural, and demographic changes that have occurred with the opening up of Australia in those years, with a particular focus on the two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, which have undergone significant transformation. However, it also examines how these changes have played out in 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.
