Description
"From the last years of the 19th century through the first three decades of the 20th century Australian architects, planners, and urban reformers, influenced by the City Beautiful movement, became aware of the need to make the country's cities not just efficient, productive and safe but also works of art. Designing Australia's Cities investigates and celebrates the ideas, influences, outcomes and enduring legacies of this artistic turn in Australian urban design, and sets Australian planning and urban development within a new international context." "Including 120 illustrations, this book provides the first comprehensive history of an important design and reform movement that helped shape Australia's cities, and whose under-appreciated legacy is clearly evident in urban landscapes today."--BOOK JACKET.
