FROM THE PREFACE: “In1949,the Social SciencesResearch Committee of the Australian National Research Council undertook to sponsor for UNESCO two community studies in Australia, one urban and one rural. They were to be part of an international study of communities and social tensions, the other countriestaking part being India, France and Sweden. The Department of Psychology at Melbourne University was asked to carry out the Australian project. The material reported in the City Studies is drawn from a number of researches carried out in the period 1947-50 by staff and students of the Department, in particular by those associated with the course entitled 'Collective Behaviour. This preface is intended to give brief outlines of these researches and to acknow- ledge the work of the many persons who have been of assistance.
