Cities, Citizens and Environmental Reform tells a story of community involvement in the development of Australian town planning from the early 20th century 鈥� from the first wave of enthusiasm for modern town planning ideals before the Great War onto the more challenging social and political environment for the original town planning associations in the post-Second World War era.

Meticulously researched and peppered with archival illustrations, the book reveals common threads and local differences in community planning movements across the nation and contributes to our understanding of modern urban planning in Australia.

Robert Freestone is professor of planning at the University of New South Wales.

Index

鈥楿nder the editorship of Robert Freestone, the authors assembled for this book are a 鈥渨ho's who鈥� of scholarship in planning history in Australia. It is highly readable and not at all arcane. ... the book breaks new ground, is broad in its themes and can be followed easily from one state to another and from one period to the other.鈥�
Alan Hutchings, University of South Australia   Geographical Research

鈥楾his book has opened an invaluable discussion in planning history that could contribute to the future of research on public participation in urban planning. It is certainly recommended reading for students and academics working within urban planning, and has a great potential to be used as a reference book in teaching Australian urban history and community participation.鈥�
