Abstract
This chapter examines the state of play of decentralisation development in Australia, reappraising past visions and realised schemes, and exploring possibilities for these to shape Australia’s urban and rural futures. We consider responses to the 2020–22 Covid-19 pandemic, which have resulted in a de-urbanisation that is novel for recent decades and has reversed some of the metropolitan primacy and growth rates that underscored established Australian planning discourse and practice. Reflecting the range of decentralisation discourse itself, we consider claims to recentre cities or to create ‘new’ cities, including schemes both speculative and realised, and reflect on the diverse fates of greenfield versus proximate satellite city schemes.
