'This book fills a glaring gap in the literature of planning history..a set of outstanding essays from experts in their fields, which cover the entire gamut of Australian planning from Botany Bay to the millennium. This admirable book is an unvarnished and dispassionate record of a very special and important planning tradition.' - Sir Peter Hall, Built Environment
'The collection of essays effectively combines both planning theory and practice ... The range of academic disciplines from which the contributors come from adds an extra freshness to the work, and makes it relevant to contemporary urban planners and sociologists, as well as urban historians.' - Urban History
'Deserves to be read by a wide audience of students, town planners and public policy practitioners ... The book is highly readable and so should find a wide non-specialist audience with an interest in the history of Australian cities and towns.' - Urban Studies
'This is a wonderful addition to the history of urban planning in Australia. A very readable text and one I would not hesitate to recommend to any undergraduate student wanting to get an understanding of the development of the Australian Metropolis.' - Ed Wensing, Australian Journal of Environmental Management
'The Australian Metropolis has much to commend it, both as a text book and as a general reference. It is well written and edited, the authors make good and appropriate use of figures, and the material and arguments are presented in a accessible fashion.' - Urban Policy and Rearch
There is probably no better book to give a succint and clear background to the forces that have shaped Australia's major cities over the past 200 years. - APA Journal, Summer 2002
