Abstract
The average population density of Australia's major urban centres has been steadily declining, despite increases in their population size. Increased per capita income and motor vehicle ownership are identified as likely causes. The role of income growth has been under-emphasised in the debate on urban consolidation, and provides a powerful argument against such a policy in favour of alternative policies, especially population control, decentralization policy, multi-nodal planning and more effective pricing policies.
