Book Synopsis
Australia's inner cities experienced an upheaval in the 1960s and 70s which left them changed forever. People from all walks of life who valued their suburbs places like Balmain, Battery Point, Carlton, Indooropilly, North Adelaide or Subiaco resisted large-scale development projects for freeways, slum clearance' and mass-produced high-rise. Unlikely alliances of post-war migrants, university students and staff, construction workers and their unions, long-term residents and city workers, challenged land-grabs and inappropriate development. This book is an in-depth examination of the causes and consequences of urban protest in a democracy. It shows how protest changed the built environment as well as its participants, and how it resonated in many of our institutions including politics, media and multiculturalism.
