'Sydney is increasingly a global city, linked to Asia by migration and international corporations, and growing tourist numbers. Visitors are drawn by attractions such as Bondi Beach, the Harbour and the Opera House, and Sydney's international appeal continues to grow in the lead up to the 2000 Olympics.
Sydney: The Emergence of a World City is the first contemporary overview of this exciting city. This innovative book traces the evolution of a cosmopolitan, multicultural city of diverse ethnic spaces, beginning with an exploration of existing physical contours and natural hazards. It explores key planning issues - such as environmental management and the impact of high-rise buildings and urban consolidation - and reviews the city's dynamic economic base, which includes agricultural markets along with financial services. Leading authors examine issues of spatial diversity in health, housing, and the (real and mythical) western suburbs. The book also examines the ways in which Sydney has been represented in art, literature, and music, and seeks to chart its destiny into the new millennium.'
