Who knew Australians wanted to live in mega-cities?
Howard Maclean, convenor of YIMBY group Greater Canberra, posted a thread on Twitter (X) stating that Melbourne and Sydney are fast transforming from “mid-sized cities by global standards” into “globally recognisable metropolises”: “In 2001, Melbourne had a population of 3.5 million on the OECD’s reckoning (and 3.38 by the ABS’s)”, Maclean says.
