This book is about Adelaide, South Australia. It is a city surrounded by a renowned green belt of park lands, conceived in 1837, a year after the city was settled. But access to this estate has been exploited and alienated ever since, despite many community protests. This work exposes South Australian politicians' and planners' exploitative strategy and duplicity across a 20 year period, 1998 to 2018. It explores how commercial, local government and state interests have manipulated Adelaide's inner-city public land management to their benefit. It is a revealing study, not only of the recent past, but also delivering a roadmap describing an improved management future for this much-admired city asset.--Back cover.
