Elizabeth Farrelly,

Elizabeth's signature sharp, erudite and conversational style is plentifully evident in Killing Sydney. She imparts a message that is part-lovesong, part-warning about the home city she adores, covering the history of Sydney's soaring civic buildings and unique public spaces, its present reality of housing crisis and near-continual development – including the human and urban impact of ongoing projects WestConnex, NorthConnex and the F6 Extension, the Powerhouse relocation, the Packer casino, the light rail relocation, the sale of heritage buildings like the Sirius for private apartments, and Darling Harbour – and laying down the gauntlet for its protection as a green, beautiful, affordable and accessible heritage city.
