Urban Dynamics of change Urban Consolidation Urban Renewal Urban Decay Urban Village Spatial Exclusion Other dynamics and terms Suburbanisation Gentrification Adaptive reuse of heritage Urban Sprawl Website Pre-visit Activities Background to the fieldwork - The Metropolitan Plan for Sydney 2036 Putting the fieldwork in context The Metro plan 2036 is a plan for Sydney’s growth. It aims to locate Sydney’s growing population in areas where people want to live including in greenfields (eg new land releases in the north-west and south-west) and in brownfields (existing suburbs). Pyrmont’s urban renewal and consolidation are part of the strategy to locate new housing in existing suburbs. Greenfield Brownfield Introductory Presentation What are the key planning challenges for the City of Sydney and how is Pyrmont’s redevelopment helping to address them? 1 A Growing Population - By 2036 Sydney’s population is expected to be 6 million (one fifth of all Australians). The additional population will require 770,000 new dwellings. The average occupancy is only 2.51 people per dwelling compared to over 5 in 1900 requiring more dwellings. Pyrmont will grow from 3,000 in 1994 to over 17,000 by 2021 2 Providing jobs closer to homes the additional population will require 760 000 jobs Pyrmont will increase jobs from 5,000 in 1994 to 26,000 by 2021 3 Providing sustainable and affordable housing average dwelling sizes are increasing taking up more space (McMansions) large houses reduce biodiversity and increase energy consumption Sydney housing is expensive for lower socio economic groups All new Pyrmont housing meets BASIX building guidelines and around 8% is affordable housing 4 Providing efficient transport new jobs and housing should match transport capacity New transport options include ferry, light rail, bus and proposed Pyrmont Metro What are the key planning challenges for the City of Sydney? 5 Providing efficient infrastructure electricity water supply sewerage stormwater communication systems New Infrastructure was constructed to encourage 6 Maintaining global competitiveness developers to the suburb including over 20 Ha of parkland, the highest ratio of parkland to residents of any inner city suburb. Pyrmont has attracted many high tech tertiary and Quaternary industries 7 Planning for ecological sustainability Sustainability is measured by our ecological footprint. This is the land a city requires to provide its raw materials and deal with its waste. Sydney’s footprint is 7 ha per person and 3 times the global average. If the entire world had the lifestyle of the average Sydney person, we would need approximately five planet Earth’s to sustain this lifestyle. Effective town planning can help manage environmental issues like air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, waste disposal, water scarcity and biodiversity loss. Sydney’s planners must plan for an increasing population and promote sustainable urban design to protect the environment and ensure a high quality of life. Some ways to ensure this are: ü enforce the BASIX code ü new housing near transport centres ü public transport and freight systems (rail ü clustering jobs and housing together (mixed use zoning) ü urban green spaces Why has the government implemented urban consolidation in greater Sydney and Pyrmont? Economic Benefits In Greater Sydney In Pyrmont It is costly for the government to build infrastructure Infrastructure like water supply, sewage, for new homes on the city fringes. electricity and public amenities were already in It is cheaper to fill in (backfill) existing underused place suburbs and upgrade existing infrastructure. Upgrading existing infrastructure was cheaper It costs 30% less to house a family in an existing than building new infrastructure suburb than in new suburbs on the edge of the city. Infrastructure in greenfield areas is expensive Infrastructure in brownfield areas

  • Remembering Wangi Power Station
    1 Photo: Bottomley Photo: Brett Patman, Lost Collective 2 Photo: Brett Patman, Lost Collective Lost Photo: Brett Patman, Wangi Power station began supplying power to NSW in late 1958. It took ten years to build, and a thousand men to build it. Many of the workforce lived in a makeshift Tent City on a hill near the station. It was decommissioned in 1986. The interviewees in this booklet all worked at Wangi power station in one capacity or an- other, and were happy to trot out some of their memories about the experience. Anyone seriously interested in the Wangi power station should look at Brett Patman’s superlative images in The Lost Collective, either on Facebook or his website.

I was about six or seven. My grandparents used to come here. Just after the war there were a lot of people buying disposal-store army tents cheaply for camping. You know, the khaki ones with the strange top on them. They must have brought me here for a holiday from the coalfields to stay for a while, because we weren’t living here then, and they used to come down here on holiday.
