Author: Graeme Davison Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 320 I became an urban historianbecause I believed that our cities deserved more of our curiosity and idealism. In City Dreamers Graeme Davison restoresAustralian cities, and those who created them, to their rightful place in thenational imagination. Building on a lifetime's work, Davison views Australianhistory, from 1788 to the present day, through the eyes of city dreamers suchas Henry Lawson, Charles Bean and Hugh Stretton and others who have helpedmake the cities we inhabit. Davison looks at significant individuals or groupsthat he calls snobs, slummers, pessimists, exodists, suburbans andanti-suburbans and argues that there's a particular twist to the ways inwhich Australians think about cities. And the ways we live in them. Thisextraordinary book excavates the cultural history of the Australian city byfocusing on 'dreamers', those who battle to make and re-make our cities. Itreminds us that for most of us the city is home, and it is there that we findbelonging. Paperback. …

Please contact us if you have a question about this title.Author: Graeme Davison Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 336 Australia's greatest social-democratic thinker. A public intellectual known for his deeply humane approach to social, economic and urban issues, Hugh Stretton was an Australian original. His Political Sciences was described by The Times Literary Supplement as 'a work of near genius'. His groundbreaking Ideas for Australian Cities became the manifesto for a generation awakening to the distinctive features of our cities and suburbs. In this selection, leading historian Graeme Davison includes highlights from these and other published and unpublished works, showcasing Stretton's bravura intellectual style, grounded analysis, literary flair and the remarkable range of his thinking on history, politics, urban planning, and progressive social and economic development. Davison also provides a substantial and valuable introduction, setting the work in context. Stretton saw the dangers of the neoliberal orthodoxy that took hold in the Anglophone world from the early 1980s. With subtlety, imagination and rigour, his work offers an alternative vision of a good and fair society. Paperback.…
