I live in Rozelle a inner suburb of Sydney. The local Council continually tries to reduce development of high density and high population high rise developments. Most of these developments are on old industrial sites.
For many years i have worked on my interest of soils and water in urban areas. My last study
on Carbon Emissions from Urban Sprawl is reported on my Creekcare web site. I agree urban sprawl is a problem increasing climate change and other environmental issues.
In my local suburbs a compact city should be built with a high population density. Rozelle is close to the Central Buisiness District of Sydney enabling many workers to have short trip to work. More population in Rozelle and surrounding suburbs will decrease pressure for population expansion in outer suburbs. Residents in the outer suburbs are car dependent.
