Planning for Socially Sustainable Urban Renewal in Suburban Sydney

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project will address the emerging issue of socially sustainable higher density residential renewal in suburban areas of Australian cities, with a specific focus on the post-war middle and western suburbs of Sydney. Within the context of new state strategic planning proposals, the research will explore the process of urban renewal in these areas, establish their capacity to deliver higher residential densities and assess the likely social and urban design outcomes. It will then develop new urban planing policy options that are likely to optimise socially sustainable outcomes at the local scale, working closely with local Council officers and the NSW Department of Housing in a number of study areas.
