Post-suburban Sydney : concluding remarks

Abstract

![CDATA[Is it possible, at the present juncture, to give a positive definition to the complex transformations affecting the city of Sydney? The title of the conference from which the current collection of papers springs, ‘Postsuburban Sydney: The City in Transformation’, suggests the difficulty of answering this question in anything but elusive terms. A never-accomplished transformation seems the only way to grasp the present condition of the metropolis. We seem to live in a ‘post’ time: postmodern, postcolonial, post-Fordist and now, when it comes to questions of the city, postsuburban. Let us admit the awkwardness of this term, which, as many of the contributors to this volume note, was initially coined by US cultural geographers and critical theorists to describe the complex transformations of Southern California’s Orange County in the 1990s (Kling, Olin and Poster, 1995).]]
