Post-suburban Sydney : concluding remarks
No full textIs it possible, at the present juncture, to give a positive definition to the complex transformations affecting the city of Sydney? The title of the conference from which the current collection of papers springs, ‘Postsuburban Sydney: The City in Transformation’, suggests the difficulty of answering this question in anything but elusive terms. A never-accomplished transformation seems the only way to grasp the present condition of the metropolis. We seem to live in a ‘post’ time: postmodern, postcolonial, post-Fordist and now, when it comes to questions of the city, postsuburban. Let us admit the awkwardness of this term, which, as many of the contributors to this volume note, was initially coined by US cultural geographers and critical theorists to describe the complex transformations of Southern California’s Orange County in the 1990s (Kling, Olin and Poster, 1995)

After sprawl : post-suburban Sydney
No full textThe march of the suburban bungalow across the surface of Sydney’s metropolitan landscape is – at the beginning of the 21st century – no less a feature of public commentary than it was 100 years ago in the Royal Commission for the Improvement of Sydney and its Suburbs (1909). In that report, suburbanisation was held out optimistically as the congested city’s counter-ideal. It was the lynchpin of an urban reform agenda geared at low-density living, efficiency, physical and moral health, and family life. Nearly a century later, Sydney’s Metropolitan Strategy (Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources, 2004) proposes solutions to the problem of a city (seemingly) without end. It predicts that over the next 25-30 years, Sydney’s population will grow by around 40,000 people per year, much of it to be accommodated in existing suburbs, with the rest in new release developments, even ‘edge cities’ master-minded from scratch.
How are we to conceptualise the spatial order of contemporary Sydney? What models can describe its emergent forms? The conventional land use, land value and population density schema of ‘zones’ hailing from the Chicago School of Urban Sociology in the 1940s, are increasingly irrelevant and inaccurate. Images of concentric ‘rings’ of inner, middle, and outer suburb evoke a singular reference point and a false homogeneity of use, status and density. The detail of spatial patterning is significantly more complex. Right across the surface of the Sydney basin, we find that fragmented geographies of class, ethnicity, employment, investment, amenity, and accessibility are producing a highly differentiated landscape form and fabric. Like many other large metropolitan regions abroad, ‘Sydney’ cannot be conceived as a coherent entity with a binding mechanism linking all parts
