Dive into the heart of Australia's suburban landscape with 'Suburban Futures.' In this groundbreaking collection of essays, we challenge prevailing misconceptions surrounding suburbia, shedding light on its integral role in shaping our cities and communities. For decades, suburbs have been unfairly stigmatised, dismissed as inferior to centralised urban hubs. Yet, as Australians continue to embrace suburban living, it's clear that this preference reflects a diverse and evolving urban tapestry. From post-World War II sprawl to the rise of a new suburbanism, our cities are in a constant state of flux, driven by economic shifts and changing work patterns. Through international and local perspectives, 'Suburban Futures' offers a comprehensive exploration of the forces shaping our urban landscapes. From the role of suburbs in the global economy to the nuances of contemporary development across Australian states and territories, this collection provides invaluable insights into the past, present, and future of suburbia. Assembled by Suburban Futures, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding of suburban dynamics, this book serves as a vital resource for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone invested in the future of our cities. Join us in reimagining the possibilities for Australian suburbs and fostering informed, inclusive discussions about our urban future. Suburban Futures is a not-for-profit collaboration of individuals and organisations established to highlight the critical role that Australia's suburbs and regions play in the economy, vibrancy and liveability of the nation. Our advocacy is built on an evidence-based platform of commissioned research, global insights and shared public policy and market intelligence.

Examining the debate between activists and professional planners over the vision of the future of a large growth corridor in Sydney, Australia, this case study maps the history of development from the late sixties to the mid-nineties, during which time serious environmental and financial problems arose. The book outlines five major visions of the future development and examines forms of political, economic, and institutional power applied by the parties in the project, with emphasis on the processes of infrastructure privatization and ecological impacts. The conclusion reflects on contemporary dilemmas about pluralism.

A substantial backyard has long been considered an iconic feature of the Australian suburb. Nevertheless, during the 1990s, a dramatic change occurred: substantial backyards largely disappeared from new suburban houses in Australia. Whatever the size of lot, the dwelling now covers most of its developable area. Although the planning system does not actually promote this change, it does little to prevent it. It appears to be a physical expression of the way that Australian lifestyles are changing for the worse, in particular longer working hours. This in turn raises issues about health and wellbeing, especially for children. Vegetation surrounding the dwelling plays an important role in microclimate, storm drainage and biodiversity, irrespective of whether the residents use their backyard. Its loss has serious ecological implications, a deficit rendered permanent by the changes to the housing stock. The Life and Death of the Australian Backyard is based on a detailed quantitative study of this increasing, but previously unstudied, problem. It discusses the nature, uses and meaning of the traditional backyard, presents an understanding of the changes that have been happening and suggests possible remedies. All professionals working in the landscape and development industries, local government, consultancies and in universities should read this unique study of an issue of increasing significance to urban sustainability.

"Good Times, Hard Times is local history with a difference. Mark Peel presents a passionate view of a place where ordinary Australians built a new community and new lives, only to see them undermined by the profound economic and social changes that have accompanied our transition from the relative prosperity of the 1960s to the uncertainties of the 1990s. The South Australian town of Elizabeth stands as a powerful example for all such communities throughout Australia." "Founded as a model town in the 1950s, Elizabeth has experienced the most important changes of modern Australia: the hopes and failures of postwar town planning and reconstruction; the flow of migrants and working people into new suburbs on the fringes of Australian cities; the impact of economic downturns on these people's fortunes in the 1970s and 1980s; the growth and decay of manufacturing; the changing attitudes of governments and other institutions to inequality and poverty." "Mark Peel examines the structural roots of these changes, and his insight into the often devastating human consequences of economically driven decision-making gives the book its power."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

No matter how practised we are at history, it always humbles us. No matter how often we visit the past, it always surprises us. Winner of the Ernest Scott Prize and Shortlisted for the NSW Premier's Literary Award for Non-fiction 'A rare feat of imagination and generosity.' – Mark McKenna With every sentence they write, historians must walk the tightrope between discipline and imagination, empathy and evidence. In this landmark work, eminent historian and award-winning author Tom Griffiths shares his passion for the fascinating, complex craft of history – or, as he calls it, the art of time travel. In fourteen portraits, Griffiths illuminates how historians such as Inga Clendinnen, Judith Wright, Geoffrey Blainey and Henry Reynolds have approached their craft. In prose both earthy and elegant, he shows the new insights they have brought to Australian history, and in so doing reshapes our shared knowledge of this continent. The Art of Time Travel is an exhilarating book that will forever change the way you think of Australia's past. 'If the past is a foreign country, Tom Griffiths makes the perfect travelling companion. Let him be your eyes and ears on our shared history. Most of all, follow his heart.' – Clare Wright

The majority of the world’s population now live in urban areas and the 21st century has been declared as the "urban age". However, closer inspection of where people live in cities, especially within so-called advanced liberal democracies such as Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, reveals that most people live in different types of suburban environments. Drawing together scholars from across the globe, this book provides a series of national, regional, and local case studies from Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States to exemplify the diverse and dynamic nature and importance of suburbia in 21st century urban studies, city-building, and urbanism. This book explores the evolving social, physical, and economic character of the suburbs and how structural processes, market dynamics, and government policies have shaped and transformed suburbia around the world. It highlights the continuing importance of the suburbs and the suburban dream, which lives on albeit under increasing challenges, such as the global financial crisis, structural racism, and the Covid-19 pandemic, which have given rise to various suburban nightmares.
