Our bush heritage helped to define our identity, but today
Australia is a nation of cities. A higher proportion of Australians
live in cities than almost any other country, and most of our
national wealth is generated in them. For most of the twentieth
century, our cities gave us some of the highest living standards in
the world. But they are no longer keeping up with changes in how we
live and how our economy works. The distance between where people
live and where they work is growing fast. The housing market isn't
working, locking many Australians out of where and how they'd like
to live. The daily commute is getting longer, putting pressure on
social and family life and driving up living costs. Instead of
bringing us together, Australia's cities are dividing
Australians-between young and old, rich and poor, the outer suburbs
and the inner city. Neglecting our cities has real consequences for
our lives now, and for our future prosperity. Using stories and
case studies to show how individuals, families and businesses
experience life in cities today, City Limits provides an account of
why Australia's cities are broken, and how we can fix them.
