Population growth and Infrastructure: the catch-up illusion

Yesterday, I flew up to Sydney to launch a new discussion paper with former NSW Premier Bob Carr, entitled “Population growth and Infrastructure in Australia: the catch-up illusion”, of which I was the lead author.

This paper was commissioned by Sustainable Population Australia (SPA), which “is an Australian, non-partisan, special advocacy group that seeks to establish an ecologically sustainable human population”.

Below is the table of contents for the paper:

And here are links to the Summary and the Full Report, which can both be downloaded in PDF format.

This is the first in a series of discussion papers that will be released by SPA.

Please pass this paper along to your friends and colleagues, as we need to educate the general public on these vitally important issues.
