ABSTRACT
This chapter of The Art of City-Making begins to draw conclusions together and approaches the questions ‘Where next?' and ‘What to do?' Many of the ideas raised here were first developed in Adelaide, where I was employed as Thinker in Residence. 1 Adelaide has great qualities, from wine to engineering to its lifestyle, and any passing criticisms made of the city should be put in the context of the openness which Adelaide displayed to me. The city was courageous in allowing itself to be used as an exploration ground and my observations were only possible given the free access I was given. Flaws would be found in any city under similar scrutiny.
