State of Australian Cities 2011

http://www.minister.infrastructure.gov.au/aa/releases/2011/October/AA188_2011.aspx " Residents of Australia’s major cities are using less electricity, leaving their car in garage more often in favour of catching public transport, producing less household waste and raising children who are staying at home until an older age. Those are a few of the trends detailed in the State of Australian Cities 2011 report which I’ve released today. Compiled by the Major Cities Unit within my Department, this latest ‘report card’ builds on last year’s inaugural publication, providing an even more comprehensive analysis of the progress and performance of the nation’s 18 biggest cities." - Advice Australian Govt media .
