Plague in Sydney 1900
When bubonic plague struck Sydney in 1900, George McCredie was appointed by the Government to take charge of all quarantine activities in the Sydney area, beginning work on March 23, 1900. At the time of his appointment, McCredie was an architect and consulting engineer with offices in the Mutual Life of New York Building in Martin Place. McCredie's appointment was much criticised in Parliament, though it was agreed later that his work was successful.

In retail, not all locations are created equal. Score a prime spot on New York's Fifth Avenue and watch your costs rise--then again, your sales might, too. The alternative can happen as well, however: sales drop and so do rents. Based on research from Cushman & Wakefield, a New York-based commercial real estate firm, these are the 10 most expensive retails addresses in the world. Check it down ..
1. Fifth Avenue
New York City, N.Y.
Price-per-square foot, per year : $1,850
Price in 2007 : $1,500
Even with all the attractions New York has to offer, it's hard to find bigger crowds anywhere in the city than those that gather on Fifth Avenue from Central Park to Bryant Park. Whether it's through Saks, Cartier, Bergdorf Goodman or the Apple Store, the branding of Fifth Avenue is as critical to retailers as the foot traffic and wealth that comes through. As a result, rents are the highest in the world--and holding steady.
2. Causeway Bay
Hong Kong, China
Price-per-square foot, per year: $1,784
Price in 2007: $1,213
Hong Kong is expensive. There's a great deal of money and hardly any space upon which to build. Even so, that hasn't stopped the area from serving as Southeast Asia's premier shopping site. Most notable are Japanese retailers, like the 13-story Sogo department store, which is the most recognizable shop along the stretch.
3. Madison Avenue
New York City, N.Y.
Price-per-square foot, per year: $1,200
Price in 2007: $1,200
Madison Avenue makes it as the second most expensive location in New York City. However, it doesn't look as strong as Fifth Avenue for the coming year. According to Gene Spiegelman, executive director of retail services at Cushman & Wakefield, vacancies have picked up in the last three months and retailers are looking for discounted rates.
4. Avenue des Champs-Elysees
Paris, France
Price-per-square foot, per year: $1,134
Price in 2007: $922
Few streets in the world are more readily associated with high-end fashion than the Champs-Elysees. Increasingly, properties on the avenue are being developed as mega stores, such as the 20,000-square-foot Louis Vuitton showroom and the Virgin Atlantic shops, which are the biggest of their kind in Europe.
5. Via Montenapoleone
Milan, Italy
Price-per-square foot, per year: $983
Price in 2007: not available
Milan is Italy's fashion capital, and Via Montenapoleone is its best shopping street. Everything you can imagine--from Gucci and Louis Vuitton to Prada and Salvatore Ferragamo--can be found on this span.
6. Via Condotti
Rome, Italy
Price-per-square foot, per year: $909
Price in 2007: not available
The key to retail pricing is traffic. Wherever you have the most tourists congregating is likely where the highest-priced retail properties can be found. That makes Via Condotti, near the Spanish Steps, a home of fine shops. The street that once played host to writers such as Lord Byron, John Keats and Percy Shelley now boasts an array of luxury goods shops like Valentino and Hermes.
7. . East 57th Street
New York City, N.Y.
Price-per-square foot, per year: $900
Price in 2007: $900
East 57th Street runs between New York's two most prosperous retail stretches, Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue. Visitors staying at the Four Seasons--one of Manhattan's most expensive hotels--who need somewhere to shop can just step out their door to a wide range of opportunities, starting with Tiffany & Co. on the corner of Fifth and moving down to Tourneau at the corner of Madison.
8. Grafton Street
Dublin, Ireland
Price-per-square foot, per year: $824
Price in 2007: $668
With Ireland's economic growth has come a boom in consumer spending. While some Irish are using the value of the euro to take day-long shopping trips to New York, many others--as well as visitors from abroad--head to Grafton Street, which runs through downtown Dublin and into Trinity College. The slowing Irish economy and challenges to the banking system, however, will likely slow growth into next year.
9. New Bond Street
London, U.K.
Price-per-square foot, per year: $810
Price in 2007: $813
New Bond Street, an extension of "old" Bond Street in the West End, was once an example of urban sprawl. But today, the stretch is one of the most valuable pieces of property in the world. As U.K. growth sputters near recessionary levels, this prime stretch that courts tourists and moneyed Britons has dropped in value--but only slightly.
10. Ginza
Tokyo, Japan
Price-per-square foot, per year: $794
Price in 2007: $683
The Ginza District is a mash-up of Japanese baroque revivalism, ultra-modern design, corporate buildings like the Sony Building and Georgian-built European buildings. Consumer confidence is the real question for 2009. Though the Japanese have experience with prolonged recessions, Japanese savings rates are traditionally very high during tough times.
