Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Near Fine. 176 pages. A substantial backyard has long been considered an iconic feature of the Australian suburb. Nevertheless, since the mid 1990s, substantial backyards have largely disappeared from n ew suburban houses in Australia. Whatever the size of lot, the dw elling now covers most of its area. The minimal backyard is not j ust a matter of higher densities in existing urban areas; it is a t its most extreme in the new outer suburbs. The loss of the bac kyard has serious ecological implications, notably for biodiversi ty, microclimate and drainage, a trend rendered permanent by the changes to the housing stock. It appears to be the physical expre ssion of the way that Australian lifestyles are changing for the worse, in particular longer working hours. This in turn raises is sues about health and wellbeing, especially for children. This b ook discusses the nature, uses and meaning of the traditional bac kyard, presents an understanding of the changes that have been ha ppening and suggests possible remedies. Key Features: * Investig ates the backyard as a physical expression of the way that Austra lian lifestyles are changing * Highlights issues about health and wellbeing, especially for children * Discusses that while planni ng policy does not promote the death of the backyard, it does not hing to prevent it Editorial Reviews About the Author Tony Hall is Adjunct Professor within the Urban Research Program at Griffi th University where he carries out research on sustainable urban form appropriate to the Australian context.
