[csaa-forum] POST SUBURBAN SYDNEY: THE CITY IN TRANSFORMATION

[Fiona Allon]

We're pleased to announce the following upcoming symposium to be hosted by the Centre for Cultural Research, University of Western Sydney:
 
POST SUBURBAN SYDNEY:  THE CITY IN TRANSFORMATION
22-23 November, 2005
Riverside Theatre, Parramatta

How are we to understand the spatial order of contemporary Sydney?
What models describe its emergent forms?

Moving from aerial vistas of spatial pattern to ground-level worlds of lived experience, we want to ask: 
is suburbia its own 'way of life', and where precisely is it? 
Is there now (or was there ever) such a mode of urban being with a set of defining cultural, political and landscape values?
 
You are warmly invited to attend this event  -  sponsored by UWS, Parramatta City Council and Delfin Lend Lease  -  at which a small number of invited speakers will present papers and engage in discussion on the complex cultural configuration we are calling Post Suburban Sydney.
 
The website address is as follows   http://sites.uws.edu.au/uws/conferences/postsub/ 

We have also attached a soft copy flyer of the event. 
 
Please feel free to circulate this invitation to all academics, urban professionals, and other stakeholders interested in Sydney's form, figuration, and future.
