Assessment Prep: Urban Sprawl

1. Identify specific examples of Urban Sprawl and Consolidation in Sydney and describe how these are examples of urban sprawl (include photos). (1 of each - consolidation and sprawl)


Ku-ring-gai


In Ku-ring-gai Barry O'Farrel is planning to bring in 10,000 more living spaces in the form of high rises by 2031. The development of high rises while still relatively close to the city makes this an example of urban consolidation. 

This is a campaign poster of "not so high in Ku-ring-gai" where they want Barry O'Farrel to stop at 6,000 new living spaces instead of the full 10,000.  

This will be bad for the area as it will cost a lot of money as well as bringing in a much higher population density. It will also cut into the resources available to the area.
