Internationally renowned architect Harry Seidler discusses the aims
emerging from the United Nations Habitat Conference as they relate both
practically and theoretically to major metropolitan and regional growth
centres he has developed in Australia. Seidler's planning designs
emphasize the "cohesion of the whole" -- harmonizing building
forms and landscapes with the age-old concept of pedestrian town
centres.
