About the Book
This is the seventh book in the series dealing with the functional aspects of Canberra’s urban environment. This photograph book was made in mid-2023 and focuses on the Canberra city centre, known locally as Civic Centre on City Hill. The city centre is an area where significant commerce, political, cultural and power is concentrated. It is well connected to other districts and suburbs via infrastructure and public transport links, and it offers attractive employment, education and opportunities for leisure.
The aim of this book is two-fold: to visually explore the spatial structures and environmental ordering of Canberra’s city centre and to record the citizens who occupy the road-dominated surroundings.

About the Creator
Stephanie Alexandria Parker
Canberra, Australia
Stephanie Alexandria Parker is an Australian photomedia artist currently living in Canberra, Australia. In 2021 she was awarded a PhD in Visual Arts from the Australian National University. Her work in photographic media explores the constructed realities we create for ourselves. She has explored this theme in work on urban environments, portraiture, and dance. In urban environments she is fascinated by the constructed reality that is an urban landscape. She sees landscape essentially modeled for economic and social purposes to allow maximum human utility. Roads are a particular interest as they are a key to understanding how we think about an urban landscape For further information see www.stephaniep.com
