Miles Diehl 3rd Period Urban Geography "Cities still where the jobs are, says RBA." Australian [National, Australia] 16 May 2014: 35. Global Issues In Context. Web. 25 May 2014. This article talks about urban sprawl happening in Australia?s urban areas. It talks about how advancements in telecommunications aren?t large enough to allow for city suburb business. This means the central business district is still the place with the highest job density and this means much higher cost of city homes close to the CBD. In the article it says ?"While telecommunicating on some days might avoid at least some travel time, jobs are showing even greater tendency to congregate in existing centers," said RBA head of financial stability Luci Ellis?.
