Abstract

It is often said that engineering makes modern urban society possible. This paper examines the influence of engineering on the sighting, services infrastructure and the general development of the built environment of a city. Using Adelaide as an example, the benefits the community has derived from the engineering input to the city's development are briefly explored.
