Urban Sprawl or Consolidation: Jordan Springs

1. this would be an example of urban sprawl as its a completely new suburb that is spreading outwards. it isn't considered urban consolidation because its not building up on other buildings, compacting space and raising the population in a small area. its completely new and is moving outwards.
2. i think there are many good things and many bad things that could happen as an outcome of this development. in the article it says that it creates job opportunities, it's environmentaly friendly and it will have a strong community spirit. the development as a whole would however impact the environment massivly. the natural habititat in the area would be destroyed in the building process, the environment and the ecosystem would be affected massivly and animals will be driven from their homes. this new development also means that more resources will need to be supplied by sydney, such as roads and electricity.
