Columnist Elizabeth Farrelly brings her unique perspective as architectural writer and former city counsellor to a burning question for our time: how will we live in the future? Can our communities survive pandemic, environmental disaster, overcrowding, government greed and big business? Using her own adopted city of Sydney, she creates a roadmap for urban living and analyses the history of cities themselves to study why and how we live together, now and into the future. Killing Sydney is part-lovesong, part-warning little by little, our politics are being debased and our environment degraded. The tipping point is close. Can the home we love survive?”--Back cover ER -
