Notwithstanding this fundamental departure from the low density pattern of the past, it is claimed that Melbourne's famed 'liveability' will be preserved.This book explores: the intellectual origins of the plan, the demographic assumptions behind it, the mode of implementationCity planningAustraliaMelbourne (Vic.)UrbanizationAustraliaMelbourne (Vic.)City planningUrbanization711.4099451Birrell Bob894773O'Connor Kevin689181Rapson Virginia894774Healy Ernest894775MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910143277003321Melbourne 20301999049UNINA
