Book excerpt: A case study of what began as one of the Whitlam Government’s boldest ventures--to make a new city in the country so as to relieve the pressure on capital cities. This book explains what was involved in that venture--what went right and what went wrong. It relates a specific case study to shifts in the wider political and economic context. It is fresh in perspective in that it views the growth center strategy from an actual site rather than from government offices.

Download or read book Australia s Gateway Cities written by Andrew Reeves and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia's 'gateway cities' occupy a significant place within the economy, even given the prominence of the capital cities of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. However, they have been underestimated in terms of public policy. Current debates on fiscal rebalancing need to recognise the latent economic potential of these gateway cities, while social policies should also incorporate the opportunities that the gateway cities offer in bridging the divide between metropolitan Australia and the regions. Changes in the global marketplace are behind the growth of jobs and population in urban Australia. To accommodate that growth, gateway cities have capacity for more Australians to work, live and play here. We also have a capability to expand industry, manufacturing, property development, education and health services. In this report, we address the nature and contribution of the gateway cities - also characterised internationally as 'second cities', consider the human dimension of these communities and their contribution to our national development and conclude with a review of policy settings and recommendations focused on future growth.
Download or read book Cities as Sustainable Ecosystems written by Peter Newman and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern city dwellers are largely detached from the environmental effects of their daily lives. The sources of the water they drink, the food they eat, and the energy they consume are all but invisible, often coming from other continents, and their waste ends up in places beyond their city boundaries. Cities as Sustainable Ecosystems shows how cities and their residents can begin to reintegrate into their bioregional environment, and how cities themselves can be planned with nature’s organizing principles in mind. Taking cues from living systems for sustainability strategies, Newman and Jennings reassess urban design by exploring flows of energy, materials, and information, along with the interactions between human and non-human parts of the system. Drawing on examples from all corners of the world, the authors explore natural patterns and processes that cities can emulate in order to move toward sustainability. Some cities have adopted simple strategies such as harvesting rainwater, greening roofs, and producing renewable energy. Others have created biodiversity parks for endangered species, community gardens that support a connection to their foodshed, and pedestrian-friendly spaces that encourage walking and cycling. A powerful model for urban redevelopment, Cities as Sustainable Ecosystems describes aspects of urban ecosystems from the visioning process to achieving economic security to fostering a sense of place.

Download or read book Coastal Management in Australia written by Nick Harvey and published by University of Adelaide Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coast is one of our most valuable assets but how is it being treated and what is being done to look after it? COASTAL MANAGEMENT IN AUSTRALIA is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of this important subject. Interesting case studies are used to illustrate human impact on coastal processes as well as demonstrating the global significance of the coast and the international imperative to manage it properly. COASTAL MANAGEMENT IN AUSTRALIA introduces the background to the various coastal management systems operating in Australia and illustrates these with 'real world' examples from the different states and territories. Since this book was first published yet another parliamentary inquiry has been added to some 30 years of national inquiries into coastal management, with further calls for national co-ordination. In addition, the Australian government has focused attention on the potential risks of climate change for the Australian coast. Both authors have national and international coastal expertise; significant academic teaching experience in coastal processes and coastal management; coastal planning and policy skills; and have extensive government expertise in coastal management.

Download or read book Racial Folly written by Gordon Briscoe and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Briscoe's grandmother remembered stories about the first white men coming to the Northern Territory. This extraordinary memoir shows us the history of an Aboriginal family who lived under the race laws, practices and policies of Australia in the twentieth century. It tells the story of a people trapped in ideological folly spawned to solve 'the half-caste problem'. It gives life to those generations of Aboriginal people assumed to have no history and whose past labels them only as shadowy figures. Briscoe's enthralling narrative combines his, and his contemporaries, institutional and family life with a high-level career at the heart of the Aboriginal political movement at its most dynamic time. It also documents the road he travelled as a seventeen year old fireman on the South Australia Railways to becoming the first Aboriginal person to achieve a PhD in history.
