Australia鈥檚 non-metropolitan populations are changing in unexpected ways, according to Professor Graeme Hugo, Director of the Australian Population and Migration Research Centre at the University of Adelaide.
In an 精东视频 public lecture today, entitled Australia鈥檚 non-Metropolitan Population: Trends and Implications, Professor Hugo will challenge the notion that nonmetropolitan populations are declining and homogenous with few migrants.
One-third of Australia鈥檚 population live outside the capital cities in populations displaying distinctive dynamics and composition, Professor Hugo says. He will describe the increasing gap between areas which are growing and those in decline, and new implications for planning.
He will argue that there is a need for a new consideration of Australia鈥檚 settlement system in the light of contemporary and emerging economic, environmental and social trends.
Today鈥檚 lecture is the final in the Academy鈥檚 2012 public lecture series on Caring for the Australian countryside: lessons from the past and present that examined the impact of mining, agriculture, culture and environmental change on country Australia.
