"The World’s Longest City (2024)" is a documentary photo series that explores Perth’s rapid suburban expansion and its implications. Stretching over 150 kilometres from Mandurah in the south to Two Rocks in the north, Perth exemplifies the challenges of urban sprawl. Photographer Harry Cunningham travelled this vast corridor, documenting the sprawling suburbs and examining the visual and environmental effects of unchecked growth. What does sprawl look like at ground level, and what are the impacts of such expansion? Through symbolic urban imagery, the series explores the sustainability of current urban planning practices and the potential environmental consequences. Cunningham’s work invites viewers to reflect on the broader priorities and values shaping the city’s future.
