Description:Australians have only recently discovered their urban heritage. While even in the nineteenth century most people lived in cities and towns, poets depicted the romance of the outback and historians the tribulations of pastoral workers and miners. The legends live on in the present century as an essential part of the Australian ethos, created and perpetuated by urban dwellers in search of their own identity and as an escape from the ordinariness if their existence.These essays describe the urban character of nineteenth-century Australia: the nature of the ‘commercial’ city in the context of similar cities in other recently settled areas, the dominance of colonial capitals, case studies of expansion in Melbourne, Sydney and Newcastle, the pattern of non-metropolitan urban development, and the dependence of the urban dweller on the developer for land and rented accommodation.
