Urban dynamics: large city (Sydney) Flashcards

1
Q

social structure: spatial patterns of dis/advantage, wealth/poverty, ethnicity

A

pattern of inter-relationships of people in society

  • well defined class structure, determined by occupation (prestige, financial reward and material lifestyle)-> still relatively egalitarian
  • person’s ability to rent/buy in certain area–> reflect income, occupation, status

  • Hornsby plateau-Botany Bay invisible diagonal line

Q

to achieve ecological sustainability, due to growth:

  • accommodating future pop growth
  • address traffic congestion, provide transport infrastructure
  • maintain air/water quality
  • disposal of waste
36
Q

growth of Sydney:

A
  • exceeding rate, seen as unsustainable (from immigrants in city)
  • gov implemented immigration program–> control migrant no. in regional areas
  • 30% of Syd pop growth, accomodated in boundaries of existing metropolitan URBAN CONSOLIDATION
37
Q

Barangaroo eg:

A

22ha, 5 wharves, (currently used for commerical shipping/ passenger terminal)

  • plan to make are more useable, western edge of city: creating
  • new civic boulevard (connecting Barangaroo-Walsh Bay-King street Wharf)
  • habourside park
  • commercial/residential quarter integrated with CBD

new parklands: use innovative sustainability and space for diverse use

38
Q

development:

A

develop new ‘major centres’ (eg Blacktown, secondary edge city with focus on retail, education, med-high density housing)

39
Q

solving traffic congestion:

A
  • western suburbs known for worst traffic= slower commute transport times, increase pollution

solved by:

  • expanding CBD to accommodate long term growth, transport needs of city
  • improving WE road system= facilitate transport, structure for CBD to grow westward
  • improve road, rail and cycleway systems in major regional centres

also fixed by providing transport infrastructure–> building new toll roads (M2, M5, M4)

40
Q

future trends: toll roads, pollution

A

from toll roads: increase urban sprawl, atmospheric pollution

water/air pollution expect increase: demand for nature resources and higher waster production- need ecological sustainability practices
- increase: industrial factories, man-made features = more carbon (more greenhouse gases)

water: major issue
- rising pop, decline in water availability

waste disposal cost: increase, illegal dumping (major env. problem)
- damage biophysical env, Sydney’s aesthetic/intrinsic value

but MUST: at a cost, ensure Sydney as growing World City can enjoy benefits
