Fluid City is a story about Melbourne that is also a more general account of local struggles, global markets and the value of waterfront. The book traces the transformation of Melbourne's urban waterfront during the period 1983 to 2004, as the city turned its face to the water and the world, re-inventing itself to attract new flows of global capital.

Publisher's note: "Fluid City traces the transformation of Melbourne's urban waterfront from 1983 to 2003, when the city turned its face to the water and the world, re-inventing itself to attract new flows of global capital." "Fluid City is a story of opportunities and dangers, with both local and global lessons. It portrays the fluid city in terms of intersecting flows of 'desire' - for identity, views, power and profits - and asks how we reconcile these 'desires' with public interests."--Jacket Size: 23.5 x 15.7 x 1.6 cm. 304 pp. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams.
