| dc.description.abstract | Since the 1950s the dominant paradigm for planning in Sydney has been urban consolidation in the form of medium density housing (Searle and Filion 2002). Successive government arguments for urban consolidation have varied from decade to decade. The main discourse of the 1950s to 1970s centred on the efficient use of existing infrastructure services such as water, sewerage, electricity and roads. Since the 1990s, urban consolidation discourse has shifted to a solution for housing affordability, housing an aging population and efficient use of public transport. Environmental arguments have also emerged and further changes to household demographics such as delaying marriage and children have created a higher demand for higher density housing (Searle and Filion 2002). Throughout this time, urban consolidation has experienced considerable opposition from community’s who mobilise various arguments of resistance, including increased traffic, loss of privacy, loss of streetscape and an influx of lower socioeconomic households (Searle 2007; Searle and Filion 2011). This case study is consistent with the urban consolidation paradigm that has been pursued in Sydney for the past 30 years (Ruming et al., 2012), with a strong emphasis over the past decade through planning system reforms that proposed the introduction of up-front strategic planning informed by community consultation (Ruming and Davies 2014; MacDonald 2015). This is a single example of the processes and debates occurring across Sydney. | |
