Planning and development issues with a particular focus on Melbourne, Australia
The Melbourne Urbanist has moved to a new address (and taken a new name)!!

The entire blog has been moved to Crikey, so existing discussions can be continued there. All new posts now emanate from: http://blogs.crikey.com.au/theurbanist/
