Sydney is also an innovative city, continually adapting to the trends and shown through its rich cultural diversity, strength in attracting investment and responsiveness to the ever-changing generations.<\/p>\n
The challenge for Sydney\u2019s future is to ensure that it responds to population growth yet maintains its world-beating lifestyle and that its liveability rises to match its increasing density. This is the purpose of the Urban Living Index. It tracks the five key categories that produce a measure of liveability in a city that is moving from suburban spread to urban growth and it is a tool that will measure these trends over time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”64″ img_size=”” image_max_width=”144px” el_class=”img-float-left” css=”.vc_custom_1629272177435{margin-right: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Mark McCrindle<\/strong> This shift is partly that the size of the city is now at a point where horizontal spread is becoming unsustainable, it is partly an affordability issue as land and house prices escalate, and there is also a cultural shift at play. While the data in this report will help the suppliers of urban density in the form of apartments we see it having a much broader use. The Index can be applied to the six planning regions of Sydney, as defined by the Greater Sydney Commission, and can be drilled down to 228 suburbs. We hope you find these resources very useful.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”62″ img_size=”” image_max_width=”144px” css=”.vc_custom_1629272323569{margin-right: 15px !important;}” el_class=”img-float-left”][vc_column_text]Chris Johnson<\/strong>

This trend is changing the very form and structure of Sydney as a city. If the current trends continue Sydney will be half suburban dwellers in detached houses and half urban dwellers in apartments in a few decades.<\/p>\n
