  • Once Upon a Time in … Ethnocratic Australia: Migration, Refugees, Diversity and Contested Discourses of Inclusion and Exclusion"
    "Once upon a Time in … ethnocratic Australia: migration, refugees, diversity and contested discourses of inclusion and exclusion" Andrew Jakubowicz University of Technology Sydney Abstract To what extent can Australia be analysed as an ‘ethnocracy’, a term usually reserved for ostensibly democratic societies in which an ethnic group or groups control the life opportunities of a more widely ethnically diverse population? Australia adopted its first refugee policy in 1977 having been forced to address the humanitarian claims of Asian and Middle Eastern refugees. Only a few years after abandoning the White Australia policy of three generations, the public discourse about refugees was framed by the ethnic origins of these groups (primarily Vietnamese and Lebanese). Over the decades a utopian light has come to be cast on the Indo Chinese as a success story in settlement, while the Middle Eastern peoples have been shaded as a settlement failure. Yet the counter narratives developed in the SBS television documentary series “Once Upon a Time...” demonstrate how ethnocratic framing can be challenged and more nuanced and analytical discourses introduced into the public sphere. Introduction Attitudes to asylum seekers and refugees among Australians are said to depend on two factors – first, that the government has control of Australia’s borders and therefore the only refugees who enter have been determined to meet Australia’s sense of what a ‘good settler’ needs to be; and second, that ‘good settlers’ integrate, contribute and do not cause disharmony (Eureka Research 1998). These narratives when applied to ‘deserving’ and ‘undeserving’ contemporary refugees reflect deeply entrenched views formed initially at the end of White Australia in the mid-1970s, when the country for the first time took non-European immigrants in significant numbers.

  • Norwest Business Park
    Assessment of potential of executive housing to enhance Penrith industrial lands A report into three suburban industrial-office precincts Professor Phillip O’Neill Director 11 April 2007 NOT FOR PUBLIC CITATION WITHOUT PERMISSION Maps produced with the assistance of the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies at The University of Newcastle Executive Summary Description of the research project This project investigates the importance of the provision of executive housing as a co- location input for the successful development of suburban employment lands. The project responds to the need for information about the potential influence of a local supply of executive housing opportunities on employment and investment decisions in substantial suburban industrial-office precincts. The report draws on international studies; original research into the relationships between place of employment and place of residence observable in three Sydney suburban industrial-office precincts: Norwest Business Park at Baulkham Hills, the more expansive Macquarie Park corridor at North Ryde and the Austlink Business Park at Belrose; and supportive case studies from these precincts. Data for the investigations come from 2001 census data as reconfigured into travel zones by the NSW Transport and Population Data Centre. These data are supplemented by direct field observations, discussions and interviews. The report commences with a discussion of the definition of executive housing. Analysis of the three industrial-office precincts then follows, including three case studies of firms from the industrial-office precincts and associated employee/householder interviews. A definition of executive housing Executive housing refers to high quality housing in a neighbourhood that acts as a device to attract and secure quality professional, management and administrative personnel to jobs within a local economy.

Thus, a desirable neighborhood should ideally be green and walkable at the same time. Yet, limited research exists on the prevalence of such “sweet spot” neighborhoods. We sought to investigate this question in the context of a large metropolitan city (i.e., Sydney) in Australia. Methods: Using suburb level normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI), percentage urban greenspace, Walk Score® Citation: Shuvo, F.K.; Mazumdar, S.; (Walk Score, Seattle, WA, USA), and other data, we explored the global and local relationships of Labib, S.M.

  • Regional Dimensions of Innovative Activity in Outer Western Sydney
    REGIONAL DIMENSIONS OF INNOVATIVE ACTIVITY IN OUTER WESTERN SYDNEY Samantha A. Sharpe A thesis submitted to the College of Health and Science In fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2007 Urban Research Centre University of Western Sydney Samantha A Sharpe © 2007 Statement of Authentication The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare that I have not submitted this material, either in full or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. Samantha A Sharpe Abstract The aim of this research is to understand the socio-economic development of a metropolitan region in Sydney through an analysis of regional innovative activity. South West Sydney, a major growth region within Sydney, includes the Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Liverpool, Campbelltown, Camden and Wollondilly. This region has absorbed 25% of Sydney’s population growth in the period from 1991-2001. Although South West Sydney has experienced rapid population growth, this has not been matched by associated employment growth. In some sectors such as business services employment growth has been minimal in the previous decade, this is particularly the case in Liverpool, the regional centre of South West Sydney. Population growth is estimated to continue at the current rate (in excess of 5% per annum) for at least the next fifteen years. In this environment, local government authorities in the region are seeking ways in which to develop the regional economy of South West Sydney and increase the amount of sustainable employment commensurably with current population and labour force increases.

  • Recovering the Gay Village: a Comparative Historical Geography of Urban Change and Planning in Toronto and Sydney
    Chapter 11 Recovering the Gay Village: A Comparative Historical Geography of Urban Change and Planning in Toronto and Sydney Andrew Gorman-Murray and Catherine J. Nash Abstract This chapter argues that the historical geographies of Toronto’s Church and Wellesley Street district and Sydney’s Oxford Street gay villages are important in understanding ongoing contemporary transformations in both locations. LGBT and queer communities as well as mainstream interests argue that these gay villages are in some form of “decline” for various social, political, and economic reasons. Given their similar histories and geographies, our analysis considers how these histor- ical geographies have both enabled and constrained how the respective gay villages respond to these challenges, opening up and closing down particular possibilities for alternative (and relational) geographies. While there are a number of ways to consider these historical geographies, we focus on three factors for analysis: post- WorldWarIIplanningpolicies,theemergenceof“cityofneighborhoods”discourses, and the positioning of gay villages within neoliberal processes of commodification and consumerism. We conclude that these distinctive historical geographies offer a cogent set of understandings by providing suggestive explanations for how Toronto’s and Sydney’s gendered and sexual landscapes are being reorganized in distinctive ways, and offer some wider implications for urban planning and policy. Keywords Toronto, Canada Sydney, Austrlia Neighborhood Gayborhood Urban Change Urban Planning· · · · · 11.1 Introduction In this chapter, we examine the historical geographies of the now iconic gay villages in Toronto’s Church and Wellesley Street district and Sydney’s Oxford Street. We argue that a comparative historical geography approach provides insights into complex A.
