Urban density in Pyrmont and Barangaroo
Jun Lu

PART A:

Urban concentrations in Barangaroo and Pyrmont have led to predominantly positive effects due to its impact on the amenities, housing availability and environment. Acts of urban renewal from the government has allowed for the parts of the two suburbs undergoing urban decay to recover and restore the run-down amenities. Urban gentrification and consolidation caused population density to go up along with the cost of living. Due to the urbanization process housing becomes more high-quality, and expensive. The increase in population density and urban sprawl results in damage to the environment. However, sustainable developments have been made to resolve the issue, making the suburbs more …show more content…

Due to the ever-growing expansion of roads and buildings, there has been a shortage of green space and parks in the area. The removal of natural habitat also results in the local wildlife to have inadequate space to live, thus damaging the local ecosystem. The growing residential areas with increasing population density results in higher energy and resource consumption. The government had tried to amend the problems via the creation of more green spaces and reserves around the suburbs, such as Barangaroo Reserves, which helps in maintaining the local ecosystem and provide areas for citizens to use for recreation. As shown in Fig 3.1, whilst the majority of Barangaroo consists of urban skyscrapers, the urban developers left land for green space in the surrounding areas. As shown in Fig 3.2, Pyrmont requires huge amounts of energy to function on the buildings alone, with even more pollution and waste generated by the everyday lives of people and their transport. However, As shown in Fig 3.4 and Fig 3.5, Barangaroo had taken actions to ensure the area was one of the few carbon-neutral areas in Sydney with fully renewable energy sources, including more than 6000 square meters of solar photovoltaic panels, rainwater collection and greywater recycling, and vertical shading systems to reduce cooling needs. Therefore, the impact of urban density on the environment of Pyrmont and Barangaroo, although efforts have been made to reduce the harms dealt to the environment, are largely negative due to the damages still dealt to the local

It may lead to the result that one of the major ideas behind the planning and reshaping the site was “human-friendly” since it worked as an open public park for individuals and communities. For instance, the built pathways for walking and cycling propose all over the Park; river banks and bridges of the Maribyrnong River. In order to achieve the idea of “human-friendly” by building those settings, the government will have to reshape the landscape for the convenience of construction of roads, pathways, shelters and play-space (Figure 3.3). The impact of human would start from the construction but keep having an influence on the site in further usage. Since the government policy was setting only few garbage bins or even none in the Brimbank Park, the waste has become one of the environmental issues in the Brimbank Park that caused by human activities.

The environmental consequences of the bushland being demolished was exponential. Many animals, large and small, were forced from their natural habitat and many died as a result of wandering too close to the highway. The natural landscape was also ruined as the housing development crew tore down trees, small native shrubs and drained the damn which was home to a delicate micro-ecosystem. The benefits of Illaroo’s conservation program are that animals and plants on the verge of extinction have been given a chance to repopulate in the hopes that the native Australian flora and fauna will survive for future generations.

Introduction As the world’s population continues to migrate and live in urban areas, planners, engineers, and politicians have an important role to ensure that they are livable and sustainable.
