The State of Australian Cities 2010 report was published in March 2010. It draws together existing data and information across a range of economic, social and environmental parameters to provide a national snapshot of the seventeen Australian cities with populations over 100,000 at the date of the 2006 Census. Since then Albury-Wodonga has reached a population over 100,000, increasing the number of Australian major cities to eighteen.

The report highlights emerging trends and issues to promote discussion and debate on managing growth and change in our major urban centres.
