/Perth has become the world's most sprawling city and needs to reimagine itself or its survival is at risk, a new book on the future of Australian cities warns.
Compiled by two Perth urban planners, Made in Australia warns the failure to allow medium and high- density housing in many suburbs threatens to consign millions of future residents to areas far from the city centre.
They say one solution may be a high-speed train from Geraldton to Busselton.
