This collection of essays, first published in 2000, was the first
systematic attempt to explain the social, administrative, technical
and cultural history of 'European' housing in Australia. Written by
a collaborative team of scholars from a wide range of disciplines,
it explains how Australian housing has evolved from the ideas
brought by the first settlers, and what makes Australian housing
distinctive in social terms. This book covers a broad range of
topics including the ways in which houses reflect social values and
aspirations, the relationship between houses and gardens, the home
as a site of domestic production and consumption, and an
exploration of how housing provides the basis for developing a
sense of community. The book will be invaluable for students of
urban affairs and those engaged in housing and the design
professions, as well as policy-makers and analysts in the public
and private sectors.
