Editorial

In 1993 we perceived the need for a forum in which to publicise and promote debate about issues important to the development of Australian society -- People and Place was the outcome. Since its inception it has played a significant role in providing information, analysis and policy advice based upon careful data analysis. This has contributed to wide-ranging reforms in the fields of immigration, education, health and urban policy. A major focus has been on Australia's population and its size, growth and distribution.
