Extending the case studies to 11 new venues in the Inner West LGA, the research reported here seeks to enhance understanding of the needs and challenges faced by creative space operators in the area. The previous studies highlighted: 1) the lack of affordable creative spaces in the city; 2) concerns about the suitability of existing creative spaces and their temporary tenures; and 3) the threat posed by the disappearance of industrial building stock to the survival of artistic creation and production in the inner city. The research linked the difficulties of maintaining creative venues within the area of the City of Sydney to three wider trends in the cultural sector: 4) casualisation of cultural workers (Morgan and Nelligan, 2018); 5) the widening gap between the more commercially-oriented cultural industries (advertising, Image 1.

  • URBAN DYNAMICS Sydney: a Tale of Two Cities? Marco Cimino, HSIE Teacher Magdalene Catholic High School, Narellan
    URBAN DYNAMICS Sydney: A Tale of Two Cities? Marco Cimino, HSIE Teacher Magdalene Catholic High School, Narellan Urban Dynamics • a case study of the results of the urban dynamics in a large city selected from the developed world including its – social structure and spatial patterns of advantage and disadvantage, wealth and poverty, ethnicity Introduction Figure 1: Sydney Councils (adapted from Aucitypops 2007) It must be understood that while Sydney is viewed as a whole entity, there are clear differences within it. When the differences are being made between the east and west, it becomes a clear case of exactly what makes the east the ‘east’ and what makes the west the ‘west’. There are a number of differences however, and these differences also make it difficult to explain the question of Sydney’s division, as they not only show cleavages, but they also show cohesion. This paper will attempt to determine the case for east and west Sydney with particular emphasis on what the differences are, and how they help to create the idea of ‘Sydney’ within the sphere of the Higher School Certificate Geography unit of ‘Urban Places’. More specifically, this paper will act as a case study for the results of urban dynamics and highlight the social structure and spatial patterns of advantage and disadvantage, wealth and poverty, and ethnicity within Sydney. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sydney_councils.png What is ‘Sydney’? Collins (2000) makes mention of the differences which occur within Sydney, however, many people have a Sydney is the most populous city in Australia, with the perceived image of what ‘east’ and ‘west’ Sydney is.
