Australia - A Great Nation This big island continent is one of the most beautiful in the world covering almost 7.7 million square kilometres. It spans several climatic zones from the tropics in the far north to the cool temperate conditions of the south. A population of 20.35 million inhabit a land area almost as big as continental USA. In their leisure time Australians enjoy an easy-going outdoor lifestyle. Suburban communities are dotted with swimming pools, backyard barbecues, parks, playing fields and tennis courts - and beaches are rarely far away. The houses in these neighbourhoods are of a high standard and relatively cheap compared with other nations. Wherever they choose to live, Australian families can find the right kind of community for their lifestyle, with comfortable living standards and excellent schools, hospitals, transport and other community services. Australian families have both the wealth and the time to enjoy their country. Working hours and the number of public holidays are similar to those in other Western countries. Australians are keen outdoor enthusiasts and virtually every activity is open to them. Many city-dwellers own holiday homes along the coast or in the mountains. The Snowy Mountains -within a few hours drive of Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra - offers international-class skiing.

Topics Speeches Peter Katz High-resolution portrait Author and consultant Peter Katz used to help developers market suburban sprawl. Now he's one of its fiercest critics. Katz is a leading proponent of New Urbanism, an urban design and planning movement that the New York Times called "the most important phenomenon to emerge in American architecture in the post-Cold War era." New Urbanists combine traditional planning and modern technology to create compelling places that break the suburban mold of mega-malls, cookie-cutter subdivisions and endless highways. Instead, they strive for environmental balance, social integration and a true sense of community. Katz played a key role in shaping the movement as founding executive director of the Congress for the New Urbanism, an organization that the New York Times called "the most important phenomenon to emerge in American architecture in the post-Cold War era." He's also author of a seminal book on the subject–The New Urbanism: Toward an Architecture of Community– published by McGraw-Hill in 1994. Katz received his degree from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York where he studied architecture and graphic design.
