By the mid-1970s, Melbourne was a dying city. People commuted in to work during the day, but downtown became a ghost town after 5pm. This episode explores how leadership and vision transformed the cityscape. Rob Adams, Melbourne's director of design and urban environment, gives a guided tour to show how the city first sought livability, then sustainability, and how the two are inextricably intertwined.

"Peak Moment" (29 minutes)

Fulfilling a long-held dream, Logan Smith and Tammy Strobel are now homeowners—of a tiny house. It’s affordable and mobile. In Logan’s tour, visit the galley kitchen with alcohol cookstove—a safe, cheap, portable fuel. Opposite is the composting toilet and shower, and above is a sleeping loft. Spaciousness in the multi-use great room is magnified by skylights and sunshine streaming through French doors. “Have House, Can Travel” could be their motto, but for now they’re planting themselves in their new community’s life.
