All cities are born and some die. But what happens to them in-between? The major cities of Australia have existed for about two hundred years and show signs of maturity. One of our fastest growing cities is only just over fifty years old: the Gold Coast became a city in 1959 and seems to be in its adolescent stage of development. This article explores various aspects of adolescent urbanism in the sixth largest city in Australia.All cities are born and some die. But what happens to them in-between?
