Christie Walk 2010
When I tell other people that I've got 12 neigbours who babysit, they're like green with envy.
— Resident of Christie Walk.

Christie Walk is an eco-housing project in Adelaide, South Australia. It is a community project that was built without government support.

Around 45 people live in 27 dwellings. It is a village style environment where it is easier to know one's neigbours.

There are fewer cars and more space for gardens, and the dwellings themselves are smaller than typical Australian dwellings, but this is compensated by shared space, relationships and a lower environmental impact.

In June 2023, Adelaide was ranked the twelfth most liveable city in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit.

In December 2021, Adelaide was named the world's second National Park City, after the state government had lobbied for this title.

It was ranked the most liveable city in Australia by the Property Council of Australia, based on surveys of residents' views of their own city, between 2010 and 2013, dropping to second place in 2014.

Adelaide ( AD-il-ayd, locally [ˈædɜlæɪ̯d]; Kaurna: Tarntanya, pronounced [ˈd̪̥aɳɖaɲa]) is the capital and largest city of South Australia, and the fifth-most populous city in Australia. "Adelaide" may refer to either Greater Adelaide (including the Adelaide Hills) or the Adelaide city centre. The demonym Adelaidean is used to denote the city and the residents of Adelaide. The traditional owners of the Adelaide region are the Kaurna. The area of the city centre and surrounding Park Lands is called Tarndanya in the Kaurna language.

Adelaide is situated on the Adelaide Plains north of the Fleurieu Peninsula, between the Gulf St Vincent in the west and the Mount Lofty Ranges in the east. Its metropolitan area extends 20 km (12 mi) from the coast to the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges, and stretches 96 km (60 mi) from Gawler in the north to Sellicks Beach in the south.
