It's always humbling to see how the city was. Robyn Annear's City Lost & Found provides a stirling view from the pole position of atop the wrecker's ball, and the State Library has an online pictures catalogue in which you could get lost for centuries. But the Melbourne Unbuilt audio walking tour, available from the National Design Centre, shows us how the city could have been by spotlighting 13 major developments that, for one reason or another, were never realised. Told first-hand by the major works' architects and planners, it's like a trip through sliding doors into a Melbourne that never was. Sites include Federation Square, Flinders Street Station and the Arts Centre Spire.
