Document Summary

11: pacific islands and australia/new zealand: similarities found in. Having looked at island cities in the caribbean, it follows that we should see the parallels that exist between those islands and the islands of the pacific and the indian ocean. We will make the transition back to larger cities by looking at honolulu and the cities of australia and new zealand, all of them urban settlements in the greater pacific. We will stress the rivalries between france and england in creating and developing urban structures in the island countries of the planet. The colonial past and present: noum a, new caledonia. New caledonia is an overseas territory of france, which means that it is essentially a colony. We will examine the island on the ground, by means of slides in the lecture. It is not a major part of our course and i am including it for interest sake.
