Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are also very good.

A public intellectual known for his deeply humane approach to social, economic and urban issues, Hugh Stretton was an Australian original. His groundbreaking Ideas for Australian Cities became the manifesto for a generation awakening to the distinctive features of our cities and suburbs.

In this selection, leading historian Graeme Davison includes highlights from these and other published and unpublished works, showcasing Stretton's bravura intellectual style, grounded analysis, literary flair and the remarkable range of his thinking on history, politics, urban planning, and progressive social and economic development.

Davison also provides a substantial and valuable introduction, setting the work in context. Stretton saw the dangers of the neoliberal orthodoxy that took hold in the Anglophone world from the early 1980s. With subtlety, imagination and rigour, his work offers an alternative vision of a good and fair society. (back cover)
