This page was created by Ian McRoberts for David Lanegran's World Urbanization Seminar at Macalester College.

Welcome to my Melbourne Home Page! I have focused my research on the history of Urban Public Transportation in Melbourne, Australia. There is, however, a brief discussion about Central Place Theory, as well as a few tid-bits about Melbourne, past and present. This interactive paper also provides a large map of Australia as well as a few maps of central Melbourne. I spent a semester abroad in Australia, therefore I have put together a little picture book of my travels at the end of this web page.

Please, enjoy my Melbourne web page. Any questions or comments can be directed to me, Ian McRoberts at imcroberts@macalester.edu or my World Urbanization Professor, David Lanegran at lanegran@macalester.edu. Please feel free to check out my classmates' World Urbanization Home Pages. Thanks, hope you have fun.
