The good city.Hopeful and provocative, this account considers the principle social and ecological threats facing Australia and outlines the ways in which these crises need to be confronted and addressed. Taking a radical approach to climate change prevention, this bold manifesto claims that Australia’s current focus on over-consumption and greener lifestyles” are ineffective. Rather, this opinionated record argues that society must instead make more dramatic changes and stop over-production. Thought-provoking and dynamic, this exploration is a must-read for people interested in climate change.Social changeAustraliaSocial evolutionUrban policyAustraliaAustraliaSocial conditions21st centurySocial changeSocial evolution.Urban policy307.160994Gleeson Brendan1964-870492MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910655997403321Lifeboat cities2771279UNINA
