Australia is one of the most urbanised countries on earth, with up to 85 percent of the population living in cities. Yet Australia is also one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. Australia's total population amounts to around 20 million people, who inhabit a country with a land area bigger than Europe or comparable to the USA.
Most metropolitan centres and towns in Australia were constructed in the 19th and 20th century so they resemble North American rather than European settlements, although they are unique and have their own influences.
The trend towards urbanisation is also stronger in Australia than many other parts of the world. Sydney is the most populous city in Australia and is built on what many call the most beautiful harbour in the world. Sydney's main landmarks, the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge personify not only the city, but also Australia. Australia's second biggest city is Melbourne which is the most European looking of all Australian cities. Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide all have a population in excess of 1 million people.
