Abstract

The Northern Territory is a vast place - roughly 1,346,200 square kilometres - but home to only 220,000 people, including around 66,000 Indigenous Australians (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2009). You would think there was plenty of space for everyone. However, more than one type of space is necessary for human flourishing: not just geographical expanses but space to work, play, socialise and engage in the other activities that make life meaningful.
