About the Location
Perth is the capital and largest city of the Australian state of Western Australia. It is the fourth-most populous city in Australia, with an estimated population of 2.02 million (as of 30 June 2014) living in Greater Perth. Yet Perth is one of the most isolated major cities on the planet. Framed by endless cobalt skies, it stands remote at the western edge of Australia’s massive expanse. Northwest across the Indian Ocean, the Asian megacity of Jakarta is closer than Melbourne or Sydney to Perth’s east. This geographic exile has instilled its population with confidence and verve.
The economic benefits of Australia’s resources boom continue to inspire central Perth’s ongoing urban makeover, while a creative and entrepreneurial spirit drives the reinvention and renewal of inner suburbs and the nearby port town of Fremantle.
The first areas settled were on the Swan River, with the city’s central business district and port (Fremantle) both located on its shores. Perth came 9th in the Economist Intelligence Unit’s August 2014 list of the world’s most livable cities, and was classified by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network in 2010 as a world city.
