This volume sheds light on the challenges of water management in Australian cities drawing on environmental, urban and economy history.

Cities in a Sunburnt Country

In this lively portrait of Sydney's development, Peter Spearritt traces a century in the life of the city - from the celebrations of the Federation of Australia in 1901 to the 2000 Olympic Games. He describes the extra-ordinary growth of the city and its sprawling suburbs, and the transition from a port and a manufacturing center to an international financial hub.
