Download or read book Melbourne 2030 written by Bob Birrell and published by Monash University ePress. This book was released on 2005 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Melbourne 2030' plan is the Victorian Government's blueprint for the accommodation of an additional one million people in Melbourne by the year 2030. The plan seeks to change the shape of Melbourne radically. The vision is of a compact city in which growth will be concentrated in existing commercial centres (activity centres). Notwithstanding this fundamental departure from the low density pattern of the past, it is claimed that Melbourne's famed 'liveability' will be preserved. This book explores: the intellectual origins of the plan; demographic assumptions behind the plan; the mode of implementation; the likely impact on the built environment; environmental and social consequences; heritage outcomes; and alternative planning options. It also critically examines assumptions about the projected demand for higher density housing, and argues that the plan's 'compact city' vision is unlikely to be achieved because it fails to come to grips with the economic and demographic realities facing Melbourne.

Download or read book Walks of Art series The Art of Melbourne Swanston Street written by Denise M Taylor and published by Palmer Higgs Pty Ltd. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stroll or tram down Swanston Street, aptly referred to as 'Melbourne's iconic spine', and you will encounter contemporary architecture and street art vying for attention beside 19th century old-school bronze statues and buildings, permanent reminders of Melbourne's early British settlement. There are no visible signs of the people who first inhabited this land, however, you can engage with Aboriginal art in the Australian collection at the National Gallery of Victoria's Ian Potter Centre, at the rear of Federation Square. This self-guided tour begins at the northern end of Swanston Street: The University of Melbourne's Ian Potter Museum of Art. Before you start, you can enjoy a tea or coffee at the Potter cafe which hugs the north-east corner of the art gallery. Heading south, you will eventually reach the Yarra River where Swanston Street becomes St Kilda Road across Princes Bridge. The green expanse of the Royal Melbourne Botanic Gardens fans out to the left. To the right is the Arts Centre with its spire, and further on, the imposing bluestone building of the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV International) houses a range of international art dating from antiquity through to the 21st century. The tour finishes here. You will engage with many forms of art which ‘speak’ to each of us differently—a work of art may remind us of the past (a weathered facade or a history painting), represent the present, or project an imagined future. After you finish this tour along Swanston Street, you might ask yourself: Is Melbourne developing a distinctive artistic character representative of its past, present and perhaps even its future? Walks of Art self-guided walking tours spotlight urban pockets of Melbourne and Europe with a focus on art in galleries, on the streets and in public places. As the tours are self-paced, you can determine for yourself how long you spend at each stop. Sometimes looking at a facade is all that is required, or a lengthier time may be spent at a gallery or church. It's all up to you! Most of the galleries and museums of art on the tours are chosen because they either do not charge admission fees (except for temporary exhibitions), or if they do, the fee is deemed reasonable by the author. Again, you have the choice. Each walk includes: many works of art with detailed descriptions a map of the route opening and closing times of galleries/museums/churches/institutions photos/images at least one inexpensive eatery along the way that is a favourite of the author. The author is mindful of those art-lovers who are confined to a wheelchair. Walks of Art tours consider the ease of wheelchair access along the route. Traditional travel guide books are expensive, adding bulk and weight to travel bags. They can also be out-of-date very quickly. Walks of Art are distributed as e-guides to smartphones, iPads and Kindles—easy to buy and access, and eco-friendly! The author keeps a vigilant eye on any changes to opening hours, new installations, closures and/or removals of works of art. This means that information can be updated with the click of a button. However, for those travellers who prefer reading print on paper rather than on shiny screens, a pocket-book version of Walks of Art will be available in the near future. Look out for the next tour in the Walks of Art series which will focus on a pocket in Rome. All tours are intended for those individuals who, like the author, want to experience art ... slowly.

Beginning with the arrival of rock 'n' roll in the 1950s, this book explores the development of different sectors of Melbourne's popular music ecosystem in parallel with broader population, urban planning and media industry changes in the city. The authors draw on interviews with Melbourne musicians, venue owners and policy-makers, documenting their ambitions and experiences across different periods, with accompanying spotlights on the gendered, multicultural and indigenous contexts of playing and recording in Melbourne. Focusing on pop and rock, this is the first book to provide an extensive historical lens of popular music within an urban cultural economy that in turn investigates the contemporary nature and challenges of urban music activities and policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melbourne, the capital city of Victoria, Australia, is a vibrant metropolis known for its rich culture, diverse population, and dynamic lifestyle. Nestled on the southeastern coast of Australia, Melbourne boasts a unique blend of modern urban development and historical charm. The city is celebrated for its art, music, cuisine, and sports, making it a beloved destination for both locals and tourists. Melbourne's unique character is shaped by its multicultural population. People from all corners of the globe have settled here, bringing with them their traditions, languages, and cuisines. This cultural diversity is reflected in the city's neighborhoods, each offering a distinct experience. From the Italian flair of Lygon Street to the bustling Vietnamese markets in Footscray, Melbourne is a tapestry of global cultures. The city's layout is a testament to its rich history and forward-thinking urban planning. The central business district (CBD) is a grid of streets filled with towering skyscrapers, heritage buildings, and hidden laneways. These laneways are famous for their street art, boutique cafes, and eclectic shops, providing a stark contrast to the wide, tree-lined boulevards and expansive parks that are scattered throughout the city. Melbourne is also a hub for arts and culture. The city is home to numerous galleries, theatres, and live music venues. Festivals celebrating film, comedy, and music fill the annual calendar, drawing artists and audiences from around the world. The city's commitment to the arts is evident in its public spaces, adorned with sculptures, murals, and installations that inspire and delight. Sports play a significant role in Melbourne's identity. The city hosts major international events such as the Australian Open tennis tournament, the Melbourne Cup horse race, and the Formula 1 Grand Prix. Additionally, Melbourne is the birthplace of Australian Rules Football, and its local teams enjoy a passionate following. The culinary scene in Melbourne is nothing short of spectacular. With influences from Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, the city's restaurants offer a global dining experience. From high-end dining establishments to food trucks and street vendors, Melbourne caters to every palate and budget. Nature is never far from the urban hustle. The Yarra River winds its way through the city, providing scenic walking and cycling paths. Parks and gardens, such as the Royal Botanic Gardens and Carlton Gardens, offer lush green spaces for relaxation and recreation. Melbourne is a city that effortlessly combines the old with the new, the traditional with the contemporary, and the local with the international. Its dynamic character and welcoming spirit make it a destination like no other.

Download or read book Young People and the Shaping of Public Space in Melbourne 1870 1914 written by Simon Sleight and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baby booms have a long history. In 1870, colonial Melbourne was ’perspiring juvenile humanity’ with an astonishing 42 per cent of the city’s inhabitants aged 14 and under - a demographic anomaly resulting from the gold rushes of the 1850s. Within this context, Simon Sleight enters the heated debate concerning the future prospects of ’Young Australia’ and the place of the colonial child within the incipient Australian nation. Looking beyond those institutional sites so often assessed by historians of childhood, he ranges across the outdoor city to chart the relationship between a discourse about youth, youthful experience and the shaping of new urban spaces. Play, street work, consumerism, courtship, gang-related activities and public parades are examined using a plethora of historical sources to reveal a hitherto hidden layer of city life. Capturing the voices of young people as well as those of their parents, Sleight alerts us to the ways in which young people shaped the emergent metropolis by appropriating space and attempting to impress upon the city their own desires. Here a dynamic youth culture flourished well before the discovery of the ’teenager’ in the mid-twentieth century; here young people and the city grew up together.
