About the authors
Wanting to research further, Ray published (co-author Salim Momtaz) Sustainable Communities: A Framework for Planning - Case Study of an Australian Outer Sydney Growth Area (Springer 2014). Continuing to study urban change, he published (co-author Salim Momtaz) Brooklyn's Bushwick - Urban Renewal in New York, USA (Springer 2014). Ray then brought together long term research (1970-2013) of the City of Sydney inner city areas, resulting in the publication (co-author Salim Momtaz) Sustainable Neighborhoods in Australia: City of Sydney Urban Planning (Springer 2015). Preparing for this book (Cities in Global Transition) meant numerous field trips into the Greater Sydney Districts, as he witnessed municipal and State efforts to adopt SUP practices in the face of global transition (e.g. population movements and settlement changes). On a community note, since 1973 Ray has been a member of the Australian based Social Developers Network (SDN). The Network commenced at the time (late) PM Gough Whitlam (1972-1975) and (late) Tom Uren (Minister for Planning and Regional Development under the PM). Both of these renowned Australians introduced environmental and social bases to urban planning (Ray worked in a Federal program at the time). A number of those Whitlam government planning initiatives have proven pivotal to development of all three districts that the book addresses.
