State of Australian Cities Report

20 July 2010

The Hon Anthony Albanese MP, Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government launches the State of Australian Cities 2010 report.

The report provides a national snapshot of the 17 Australian cities with populations over 100,000 at the 2006 Census. It also highlights emerging trends and issues to promote discussion and debate on managing growth and change in our urban centres.

The State of Australian Cities 2010 report progresses the cities agenda at the national level, setting the context and scope for further involvement by the Australian Government in urban policy and planning. The next stage will involve the development of a national cities strategy that outlines the Australian Government’s approach to achieving more productive, liveable and sustainable cities in the future.
