As cities from Cape Town to La Paz face acute water shortages, citizens need to know how urban water systems evolved to understand their vulnerabilities and alternatives. This volume sheds light on the challenges of water management in Australian cities drawing on environmental, urban and economy history.

Cities in a Sunburnt Country

In this lively portrait of Sydney's development, Peter Spearritt traces a century in the life of the city - from the celebrations of the Federation of Australia in 1901 to the 2000 Olympic Games. He describes the extra-ordinary growth of the city and its sprawling suburbs, and the transition from a port and a manufacturing center to an international financial hub.
