Description:... A case study of what began as one of the Whitlam Government’s boldest ventures--to make a new city in the country so as to relieve the pressure on capital cities. This book explains what was involved in that venture--what went right and what went wrong. It relates a specific case study to shifts in the wider political and economic context. It is fresh in perspective in that it views the growth center strategy from an actual site rather than from government offices.
