Abstract

[Economic windfalls seem unquestionably beneficial. Currently, Western Australia is passing through (another) mining ‘boom’. Yet how this windfall is organized, managed and spent is a highly political activity. The development of infrastructure – for transportation, health and education – seems an obvious and ‘safe’ way to disseminate this revenue. Yet Leanne McRae demonstrates that, in the case of Western Australia, odd decisions about urban development have been made, removing funding from the regions of the state that actually generated the ‘boom’ in the first place. The focus on the Central Business District has disconnected lived and imagined spaces.]
