1. Is this an example of urban consolidation or urban sprawl? Why?
Jordan Springs is an example of urban sprawl because the definition of urban sprawl is: "a characteristic of Australian cities where population growth has caused expansion outwards in size with the creation of new low-density suburbs" which is what Jordan Springs is compared to urban consolidation which is: "the redevelopment of parts of a city to achieve a higher population density, characterised by high-rise apartment complexes and villa developments" which is not what Jordan Springs is.
2. Do you think that this development is positive or negative for the surrounding community? For Sydney? For Australia?
I think it is positive as it provides more room for people to live and keeps people from overcrowding other areas. It is also nature friendly which is good for the environment. As well as being nature friendly it also has good road designs and public transport access to be pedestrian friendly and promote exercise. It is not beneficial to Sydney because it forces Sydney to give some of its recourses as well as it could draw people away from Sydney to go live there.
