Pyrmont’s population is projected to reach 20,000 by 2020, which means that further development of the suburb is required to sustain this growing population. The development and construction of more and more apartments will inevitably increase the suburb’s and Sydney’s ecological footprint. There has, however, been the recent development of sustainable apartment blocks, which consists of water conserving taps, solar energy panelling, natural gas outlets and other sustainable aspects of development. Transport has also been revitalised in the Pyrmont area with over 34% of the residential population utilising the facilities. The new light rail and monorail systems, train, bus and ferry networks play a major role in sustaining the suburbs ecological sustainability.
This paper briefly demonstrates West Oakland Bart station’s assets, how it has leaned towards sustainability, equity, and development. Almost every Bart station is surrounded by homeless people, not every street near such station are clean. But when it comes to Oakland and West Oakland people tend to have negative thoughts. Even though this area has the reputation for violence and numerous crime scenes in the past. I find this Bart station no less different than the other Bart station, in fact, it was much cleaner, more spacious for parking and even surrounding was spacious, clean and busy streets.

Some people in the neighborhoods of the suburbs do their best to work and bring those areas which have been neglected to present-day standards because they don’t get enough attention from their legislators. I also saw affordable housing in the suburbs. The reason is that they want people living there to have the goods and services people would require. When they charge less cost for housing, people would have the money to make available the goods and services other people living there would require. This all boils down to the energy cost which is low there.
In Vancouver's case it is a good thing gentrification is happening. By redeveloping the area businesses want to invest
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. But what defines an urban area and what makes it so attractive? In my opinion, urban areas are places that consist of a variety of land uses and buildings, where services and amenities are easily accessible to the general public, and includes an established multimodal transportation network. Also, it should be a place where people can play, learn, work, and grow in a safe and collaborative manner.

Incorporating analysis’s from material provide in the Development and the City course at the University of Guelph, it is believed that a significant issues is the means to which governments invests in their people. Within cities, municipal governments are often more interested in modernizing than addressing the major structural concerns mentioned above. Furthermore, social inequalities do not just expand across cities, rather this is a problem that engulf the entire nation, which Boo also points to. This can especially be seen when
The Greater Toronto Area’s Urban Metabolism 1.1. Introduction An urban metabolism is utilized as a model to analyze the energy-matter flows within a city. This report examines the Greater Toronto Area’s urban metabolism and the metaphor as an entirety, focusing with a GTA urban metabolism case study completed in 2003, which also demonstrated the input and waste variances from 1987 and 1999.
Suburbanized homes are considered the standard in modern day Canada, but few realise the negative effects the suburbanization has had on Canadian identity. ‘Cookie-Cutter’ homes have many issues under the surface, as the outdated metropolitan area planning method increases negative environmental impacts and decreases the quality of life in the area, Canadians continue to buy into it. To understand the negative impacts on Canadian identity, one first has to understand why suburbia is outdated. Created around the beginning of the economic boom, suburban homes were the quick fix solution to the consumerist attitude. The 1920s saw a rise of soldiers returning home looking for a home, only for the inner-city communities to grow overpopulated and

3 MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY 3.0 INTRODUCTION Energy analysis of buildings helps to simulate the amount of energy used in a building. It is very important as it helps to discover and ascertain new ways of conserving energy and ensuring energy efficiency of building components. Building developers, construction engineers are increasingly interested in creating more energy efficient reason, and for this purpose whole building energy simulation programs are being used to determine strategies that save energy and are cost effective. The most common way available to perform this building energy analysis is to implement building information modelling(BIM). Building Information Modelling(BIM) consists of a digital representation of physical and functional
