New twenty-first century economic, social and environmental changes
have challenged and reshaped rural Australia. They range from
ageing populations, youth out-migration, immigration policies (that
seek to place skilled migrants in rural Australia), tree changers,
agricultural restructuring and new relationships with indigenous
populations. Challenges also exist around the 'patchwork economy'
and the wealth that the mining boom offers some areas, while
threatening regional economic decline in others. Rural Australia is
increasingly not simply a place of production of agriculture and
minerals but an idea that individuals seek and are encouraged to
consume. The socio-economic implications of drought, water rights
and changing farming practices, have prefaced new social, cultural
and economic reforms. This book provides a contemporary perspective
on rapidly evolving population, economic and environmental changes
in 'rural and regional Australia', itself a significant concept.
Bringing together a range of empirical studies, the book builds on
established rural studies themes such as population change,
economic restructuring and globalisation in agriculture but links
such changes to environmental change, culture, class, gender, and
ethnic diversity. Presenting original and in-depth interventions on
these issues and their intersections, this book assembles the best
of contemporary research on rural Australia.

Over the last two decades new and significant demographic,
economic, social and environmental changes and challenges have
shaped the production and consumption of housing in Australia and
the policy settings that attempt to guide these processes. These
changes and challenges, as outlined in this book, are many and
varied. While these issues are new they raise timeless questions
around affordability, access, density, quantity, type and location
of housing needed in Australian towns and cities. The studies
presented in this text also provide a unique insight into a range
of housing production, consumption and policy issues that, while
based in Australia, have implications that go beyond this national
context. For instance how do suburban-based societies adjust to the
realities of aging populations, anthropogenic climate change and
the significant implications such change has for housing? How has
policy been translated and assembled in specific national contexts?
Similarly, what are the significantly different policy settings the
production and consumption of housing in a post-Global Financial
Crisis period require? Framed in this way this book accounts for
and responds to some of the key housing issues of the 21st century.
