What Sydney and its surrounding suburbs will look like in 2040
As Sydney’s population marches well beyond five million people with no signs of slowing down, experts have created a bold vision for what Sydney and its surrounding suburbs will need to grow to meet the demand. And it looks like the only way is up.
Developers have created a bold vision for Sydney which will turn our town into a 21st century powerhouse.
As the city’s population marches well beyond five million people with no signs of slowing, the Greater Sydney Commission’s Region Plan says we will need 725,000 new homes over 20 years.
So what will those homes look like by 2040 and where will they go?
The Urban Taskforce, along with digital modelling firm Arterra Interactive, revealed their bold vision of how our major suburb centres will look into the future.
This includes future views of Sydney, The Central River City at Parramatta and the Western Parkland City at the Aerotropolis.
They have added the growing city centres of Campbelltown, Liverpool and Penrith, while looking at how Newcastle and Wollongong could benefit from a fast train connection.
