How would you like to live in a planned city? A city where broad, sweeping roads wind past modern buildings in a green and restful park like setting? A city without noisy, bumper-to-bumper traffic, harmful smog or unsightly slums? Here in Canberra, Australia's capital, we live in such a city. Cyclists and joggers can travel all over Canberra without ever having to compete with motor vehicles. A network of 100 kilometers (60 miles) of paved paths crisscross the city through peaceful parks, quiet suburbs and around a tranquil lake. Where they intersect roads and freeways, either an underpass or overpass has been built. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
