Most metropolitan centres and towns in Australia were constructed in the 19th and 20th century so they are modern and resemble North American rather than European settlements, although they are have their own influences.
The trend towards urbanisation is stronger in Australia than many other parts of the world due to much of the landscape in Australia being harsh and unable to support large populations.
Sydney is the most populous city in Australia and is built on what many say is the most beautiful harbour in the world. Sydney's main landmarks, the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge are iconic of not just Sydney but of Australia too. Australia's second biggest city, Melbourne is the most European of all Australian cities with sizeable immigration from Italy and Greece, the city is the fashion and food capital of Australia. Brisbane the third biggest city enjoys a sub-tropical climate and is a city built around a river with spectacular beaches to the north and south of the city. Both Perth, and Adelaide have a mediterranean climate and populations between 1 and 2 million people. The Gold Coast is a coastal city just south of Brisbane. It is famous for it's beaches and coastal high-rise developments.
