The book examines the extent to which the sustained population
growth of Australia's heartland regional centres has come at the
expense of demographic decline in their own hinterlands, and,
ultimately, of their entire regions. It presents a longitudinal
study, over the period 1947-2011, of the extensive functional
regions centred on six rapidly growing non-metropolitan cities in
south-eastern Australia, emphasising rapid change since 1981. The
selected cities are dominantly service centres in either inland or
remote coastal agricultural settings. The book shows how
intensified age-specific migration and structural ageing arising
from macro-economic reforms in the 1980s fundamentally changed the
economic and demographic landscapes of the case study regions. It
traces the demographic consequences of the change from a relative
balance between central city, minor urban centres and dispersed
rural population within each functional region in 1947, to one of
extreme central city dominance by 2011, and examines the long-term
implications of these changes for regional policy. The book
constitutes the first in-depth longitudinal study over the entire
post-WWII period of a varied group of Australian regional cities
and their hinterlands, defined in terms of functional regions. It
employs a novel set of indices which combine numerical and visual
expression to measure the structural ageing process.
