In an important contrast to many recent urban books, they consult social opinion as well as the best scientific evidence to draw up an outline for a workable and sustainable future for Australia. It departs from the current 'Business Council' program of stacking the metropolitan cities with new population and (always lagging) investment.

Our reaction to out-of-control climate change, mass species extinction and the fracturing of a once egalitarian society is that we build new suburbs like before, just tighter and meaner. This hostile fabric is stranded in the gulf between being leafy and suburban and truly urban and lively. Instead, it is neither and, as such, it is the worst of all worlds. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs that the best we can offer? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat about new urban dreams, not a hatchet job on the existing dream? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's where this book steps in. This irreverent, easily digestible and highly visual book trawls through the archives for long-forgotten, sometimes dangerous, ideas and draws upon unfashionable or emerging theories and techniques for innovation to penetrate beyond business-as-usual approaches. Rather than a weighty tome beyond our ever-constricting attention spans, this cheerful and consumable field guide to alternative urbanisms is for informed laypeople, planners, designers, policymakers and politicians alike. It opens a conversation through a series of hand-drawn diagrams of alternative ways of dwelling in Australian cities, which have applications in sprawling cities worldwide. These diagrams have already been trialled on social media, eliciting a storm of noisy commentary. This unique book will appeal to the many frustrated people constricted by or excluded from business-as-usual approaches to urban development. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTrue to form, Julian Bolleter has delivered the perfect combination of provocation, insight, creativity and entertainment.
