Welcome to GEOS281, a Human Geography unit entitled Managing Our Cities. The unit introduces some of the major challenges faced by those concerned with maintaining a sustainable city form, enhancing the quality of life of urban dwellers, and facilitating the circulation of goods, services and people, and hence economic development. GEOS281 is about processes of urban development in Australia, and major policy responses to them.

The unit aims and objectives, the timetable for lectures and tutorials and a list of references can be downloaded as a .pdf document from: GEOS281 unit information.
