Australia City Living - Hardcover

Long celebrated for its magnificent beach and bush environments, Australia is becoming equally renowned for its city living. More than ever before, the country's high-quality lifestyle is essentially urban, catered to by a profusion of cultural venues, restaurants, bars, cafes, hotels, sports clubs and boutiques. The cities are home to genuine communities - singles and couples, families and extended families, professionals and retired people, all attracted to the convenience, the culture and the aesthetic of urban living. This volume showcases about 50 residential projects across all the major cities of Australia, celebrating the vitality of Australia as it reclaims and reinvents its urban heritage.
