Evolving Brisbane | The Brisbane CBD 200 Years On by Adrian Santy

Brisbane was first settled in 1825 and during the last two hundred years it has undergone dramatic change, transforming into a city of international standing. This book captures Brisbane's historical and unique characteristics and takes you on a visual journey of an ever evolving city. 

Enjoy a tour through the Brisbane CBD and view  the mix of old and new buildings, as well as the river frontage and green spaces that provide an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The central business district also caters for city living. The city's small footprint means residents can easily access the metropolitan cafes and restaurants and enjoy the performing arts and museum precinct located across the river at Southbank.

Brisbane has become Australia's third largest city and, given its close proximity to South East Asia, it enjoys a steady influx of overseas and interstate visitors. What will it look like in 2032 when the city hosts the Olympic and Paralympic Games or in another 200 years? There is no doubt that Brisbane will continue to transform and a new story will evolve.
