There has been considerable recent progress in both observational and theoretical studies of galaxy formation. An underlying goal is to understand the present-day diversity of forms, masses and luminosities. Popular models predict the bulk of the population assembled recently, in apparent agreement with optical observations. However, uncertainties remain including the role that dust might play in obscuring star-forming systems and the implications of recent detections with sub-mm detectors. A key issue is whether the data confirm or otherwise the hypothesis that the Hubble sequence arises from transformations driven by the dynamical assembly of smaller systems. Further multi-wavelength surveys and studies of the resolved internal properties of distant galaxies with the new generation of actively-controlled ground-based telescopes promise answers to these questions.
