Mike Zorbas is CEO of Property Council of Australia. Here's what he had to say about "The Next Australian City" by Suburban Futures: “Packed with insights, this is an unashamed love letter to Australian suburbia. Equally, it is clear eyed about the trends that will shape our suburban future. …. this book (is) a healthy challenge to what the authors call the ‘authorised version of urbanism’. Many terrific Australian authors and a giant or two, including the great Joel Kotkin, allow this collection to cleverly combine global and local perspectives with policy lessons for all Australia’s great cities and civic leaders.” He's not wrong.
