The latest research undertaken by Professor Steffen Wetzstein for the FACTBase research project examines the perceptions of the urban elite – business people, policy makers and academics – on the Australasian cities of Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland. From Perth’s perspective key findings of the research clearly confirm that leaders in the wider region have taken note of the economic impact of Western Australia’s unprecedented mining boom of the early and mid 2000s.
