Title: Fluid city
Subtitle: transforming Melbourne's urban waterfront
First published: 2005
Description: "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.
