Abstract

Commissioned by the City of Melbourne in 1992, this history forms a major part of the Central City Heritage Study which now provides a detailed information database of bibliographic material and city heritage features. The fascinating story of the growth of Melbourne as a city from settlement to the present day will increase awareness of the dynamic nature of city development in the light of contemporary social change. Using a thematic approach, architectural historian Miles Lewis examines how events, both local and international, influenced the way which Melbourne grew and shaped the environment of the city as we know it today.
