title: Urban-rural migration in Australia:  a process view of the turnaround.
abstract: "This paper summarizes the evidence for the existence of a trend toward population deconcentration in Australia at the macro and meso (national and state) levels.  It seeks to relate processes of population dynamics identified at macro, meso and micro levels to several hypotheses which have been put forward to explain the turnaround.  A preliminary explanatory model which links causal mechanisms operating at different levels of the spatial and urban hierarchy is outlined."
