From the Foreword: This project is a unique demonstration of an alternative approach to housing and construction in Australia. When the Federal Government acquired the historic Glebe Estate in 1974, the estate was threatened with the fate that has met similar inner city residential areas. Today the estate is emerging renewed, but in a way that better serves both the local residents and the community. The historic 19th century streetscapes are being restored to their original character. Shops and businesses on the Estate are doing well. The Glebe Project has generated new and useful information on the technical, economic, social and administrative aspects of housing renewal. The report contains material of interest to all levels of government, the private sector and community groups involved in innovative approaches to housing. First edition stated.
