Behind the Scenes examines planning in the City  of Adelaide&nbsp;from 1972 until 1993 within the historical framework  of&nbsp;City/State relations from 1836 when the Province of South Australia  was founded. During this 21-year period, the City had its own planning  and&nbsp;development control legislation separate from the rest of the&nbsp;State.  Dr Llewellyn-Smith examines why this situation came&nbsp;about, why it  continued for this particular period and why it&nbsp;ceased in 1993 when the  separate legislation was repealed&nbsp;and the City became part of the State  system under the new&nbsp;Development Act 1993. Behind the Scenes includes original interviews  with many of&nbsp;the key individuals in the City and State who played  influential&nbsp;roles during this period. Dr Llewellyn-Smith himself was  the&nbsp;City Planner from 1974 until 1981 and then the Town Clerk/Chief  Executive Officer of the Adelaide City Council from 1982&nbsp;until 1993:  this book, then, is both a work of scholarship and&nbsp;an insider’s account. With a joint foreword by The Hon. Jay Weatherill MP,  Premier&nbsp;of South Australia, and The Rt Hon. the Lord Mayor of&nbsp;Adelaide,  Mr Stephen Yarwood
