City Dreamers

The Urban Imagination in Australia

Beschreibung

Examines the main currents in Australia's urban culture by looking at the ways in which artists, social scientists, poets, writers, reformers and engineers have imagined Australian cities over the last 200 years. Graeme Davison examines a range of these observers and thinkers, and argues that there's a particular twist to the ways in which Australians think about cities.
