Fluid City traces the transformation of the urban waterfront of Melbourne; the re-vitalization of the Yarra River waterfront; Melbourne Docklands and Port Philip Bay. As the financial and industrial centre of Australia; in the late nineteenth century; Melbourne developed a new world exuberance. Yet the twentieth century saw Melbourne suffering from a declining industrial and economic base. The city in the 1980s was de-industrialising; and the re-facing of the city to the water was a key urban strategy of the 1980s and 90s and a catalyst for economic transformation. This book bridges significant gaps between different discourses about the city and to challenge singular ways of viewing the city.
