The article reports on Australia's adaptation of the Swedish-style sustainable city. The country is adopting a four-level scale system for energy, waste, water and transport infrastructure to help reduce pollution. The densification of Australian cities has already had a clear success. The use of the technology such as solar technology, waste recycling, cross-flow ventilation and green roofs greatly improved the living conditions in the country. The city-dwellers are beginning to appreciate design spin-offs from the Swedish-Australian partnership.
