Summary:"Sydney's Century is the story of Australia's most populous city as it survives land booms and busts, two world wars and the great depression, the long post-war boom, and the uncertainties of the late twentieth century. This is a compelling account of the real estate developers, politicians, planners and ordinary citizens who helped shape Australia's largest city. Drawing on novels, newspaper reports, government papers and first-hand accounts, Spearritt shows how physical changes to the city have affected the lives of communities and their residents."--BOOK JACKET.
