While state and local governments wrestle with these issues, they are continent wide and require national leadership, direction and participation. As a highly urbanised country without a national approach to urban policy, Australia is an outlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors to this book argue that this policy gap needs to be addressed. They ask: How have productive, sustainable and liveable cities so far been enhanced? Where have aspirations fallen short or produced negative outcomes? And what approaches are emerging to challenge existing and devise new urban policy settings?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the face of ongoing crises and escalating change, the need for policy to quickly transform urban Australia is daunting.
