Sydney: Now and then

Goethe-Institut - Blog Cityscapes

CityScapes Blog

Welcome to the Goethe-Institut CityScapes Blog.

12 cities
36 artists
12 themes
From January through December 2011, these were the parameters for a playground of diverse, fascinating, vibrant tales: Responding individually to a collective impetus, a host of hand-picked young bloggers uploaded photos, texts, and multimedia. Every month, they were given a new theme. Step by step, they created a kaleidoscope of impressions, opinions, ideas and… plain fun.

This project has now ended. If you like what you see, you may want to check out the brand new
CityTales Comic Blog.

Sydney: Now and then

Sydney's Town Hall in the 1900s.

Sydney doesn't have a terribly long history... but that's not to say nothing has changed!

From the first settlers, to immigration to Indigenous rights, key points in Sydney's history are marked in the city's spaces and buildings and the way in which these spaces and buildings have developed over time.

This month, blogger Jennifer Lush takes us on a tour of some of Sydney's most iconic places, looking at how they were then... and now.
