How did Melbourne earn its place as one of the world's 'music
cities'? Beginning with the arrival of rock 'n' roll in the 1950s,
this book explores the development of different sectors of
Melbourne's popular music ecosystem in parallel with broader
population, urban planning and media industry changes in the city.
The authors draw on interviews with Melbourne musicians, venue
owners and policy-makers, documenting their ambitions and
experiences across different periods, with accompanying spotlights
on the gendered, multicultural and indigenous contexts of playing
and recording in Melbourne. Focusing on pop and rock, this is the
first book to provide an extensive historical lens of popular music
within an urban cultural economy that in turn investigates the
contemporary nature and challenges of urban music activities and
policy.
Federation Square turns ten in October 2012. This book tells the
story of those ten years and how a place that was once so reviled
has ended up so popular and successful. It locates the Square's
story within the paradigm of the new role played by city centres in
the economy and culture of the contemporary globalising world.

Remember when our cities and inner-cities weren't dominated by
high-rise apartments? This book documents the changes that have
come with the globalisation of the Australian city since the 1970s.
It tells the story of the major economic, social, cultural and
demographic changes that have come with opening up of Australia in
those years, with a particular focus on the two biggest cities,
Sydney and Melbourne, which have been transformed. But throughout
it also looks at how these changes have played out in the smaller
capitals and regional centres. How does one of the most urbanised,
multicultural countries in the world see itself? This book
challenges received ideas about Australia and how it presents
itself to the world, and how in turn many Australians perceive and
understand themselves. Rather than rehashing old stereotypes about
mateship, the Bush or Anzac, this book places the globalised city
and its residents at the heart of new understandings of
twenty-first century Australia.
