Barangaroo is an ambitious urban renewal project happening currently in Sydney. Since its approval in 2007, the Barangaroo project has been the focal point for groups such as Lend Lease to reestablish Sydney’s mark in the world. The project embodies urban efficiency and environmental sustainability (named as being “climate positive ”) with world-class architecture/design. Barangaroo is a historically prevalent landmark of Sydney with Aboriginal associations of the Cadigal people. Primarily being used as a loading dock for incoming ships, Barangaroo has and will be further transformed into a multifarious region of Sydney with Residential, Tourism and Recreation as the pivotal points of it. The Site will be divided into 3 main sections: Barangaroo South (tourism and retail); Barangaroo Central (Recreation, entertainment) and Barangaroo Point (Grand harbor Park of Sydney).

This book puts emphasis on the transformation of an American citizen into a marine and the importance of sustaining the change. It is imperative because our war fighting ability depends on a lasting transformation not only during the time of the individual’s Marine Corps career but also when he or she returns to their civilian communities.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the most iconic monuments in Australia, making it have a large effect on its society and the Australian government. Due to the installation of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, tourism and shipping soared in Sydney causing revenue to increase in the city of Sydney. The New South Wales Government Website quotes that “It is arguably one of the most dramatically placed bridges in the world.” The bridge was built during the great Australian depression and was the lifeblood of the floundering NSW economy. The Sydney Harbour Bridge improved safety in the travel to and from the city, this was because of the 75 ferries carrying vehicles per hour. Ever since it’s opening, the Bridge has been an icon for Sydney and Australia,

I visited the Newport Back Bay Visitors Center. It is located in the Newport Back Bay for people to visit and learn about the wonderful Back Bay that is only steps from our very own school, CDM. The history of the Back Bay goes back a long time. In the 18th century when the Spanish arrived in California places like the Back Bay were very abundant. However by 1975 less than 10% remained in-between Santa Barbra and Mexico. In 1960 plans were made to make the back bay a large marina with houses right along the water. But in 1967 when a group of citizens founded the Friends of Newport Bay they fought to keep this from happening. It was also founded to help bring attention to the ecological importance of the Bay and to help try and ensure its survival. As a result of the Friends of Newport Bay the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve was founded in 1975. Seven years latter in 1982 more land was added at Big Canyon. Five years later, in 1989 what is now known as Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve was established on the neighboring bluffs after the County of Orange acquired an additional 140 acres. Eleven years after in 2000 the Friends and the Naturalists joined forces to become the Newport Bay Naturalists & Friends. Most recently, in 2010 it was elected to change the name of this organization to the Newport Bay Conservancy, which is the name that stands today. The visitor’s center helps inform people of the intricate Back Bay, how it is being preserved,

The suburb of Pyrmont on the shores of Sydney Harbour has been transformed by the processes of urban renewal into a thriving cosmopolitan residential area, an efficient and sophisticated business centre, and a popular recreational and tourist hub. Through my own observation of the Pyrmont area, I have seen how the painstaking urban planning efforts for the area have come to fruition, and a focal point of the Harbour foreshore created as a result of this.

The real impact regarding local residents and businesses on Cronulla beach is their influence on the government as well as their input and suggestions on points of improvement for the Beach. After all, these are the people that are going to be affected the most from any changes occurring. For example the sea wall at Cronulla Beach is not the most attractive thing, yes it is highly beneficial but the local residents and businesses that have to look at it all the time, may not be as pleased as the government is with the idea. It also needs to be taken into consideration that future development doesn’t impact on their property value, access to the beach or coastal views.

The construction Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base has had the largest impact on the growth of Camden County. Construction on the naval base began in 1978, and it was operational a year later. In 1980 the location was selected as the

Another area currently going through urban decay and renewal is the Rhodes peninsula. The area had been associated with Sydney's industrial history since the 1900's when in 1928 Timbrol, a chemical making company, decided to relocate there. After then many more companies in a similar industry decided to move there as well. The chemical era in Rhodes had stopped by the 1980's but the land was unable to house residential apartments because of the contamination left by the chemical plants, it therefore went into decay. This left a large spot of 23ha unable to be used for any type of commercial, residential or industrial buildings. In the late 90's the area was recognised for its potential and was fully redeveloped, getting rid of any chemicals that may have been there from the factories. The result of the redevelopment has seen many more companies of a commercial type want to have offices there. This increased the interest to live in the area, which therefore made developers build many more high to mid density buildings in the

The MBTA’s newest station on the Orange Line, which offers a stop between the Wellington and Sullivan stations, began service on September 2. Assembly Station, located in the district of Somerville, is the first new T stop in 26 years. However, the $29 million station is part of an even greater project, the development of Assembly Row in Assembly Square. The now open Assembly Row is the result of 16 years of planning and an investment of over $1 billion by private investors

* There has been continued redevelopment. In 2006 there was a 3.4 million redevelopment package which again developed the docks.

The city of Newcastle is a great city to live. Newcastle is often referred to as a harbour city, which has many beaches to accommodate all the locals and visitors that would like to go swimming, in the hot and sometimes even the cold. There is a coastal walk connecting the beaches which stretches between Nobbys and Merewether. There is a path that that gives people access to Bogey Hole Which is a convict built beach bath, the path also leads to the 1880s Defence installation which was originally used to defend against possible Russian attacks on the Newcastle city, but went out of service in about 1972 but still stands today as a historical museum and whale watching site. This map shows Newcastle but the picture doesn’t show the

As previously noted, The Glen was formerly a Naval Air Station, but was reformed into the combination of residential and commercial areas we utilize today, an integral portion of the smart growth model. Since the base was closed in 1995, the Village of Glenview needed to occupy the vacant

Ruakura has been recognised as a long term growth cell for growing populations through employment, industrial and lifestyle opportunities within Hamilton City (O’Dwyer 2016). It is situated within what is described as the “Golden Triangle”, between Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga, therefore is seen as an ideal location for growth hub and port facilities, due to the access between ports of Auckland and Tauranga (Tainui Group Holdings 2016). This area is located within the urban rural fringe, across 822-hectare (refer to Figure 1). Due to this location, urban development is prohibited within the area, according to the operative district plan rules. This develops the issue of the plan change through Tainui Group Holdings Limited and Chedworth Properties Limited aiming to proceed with development of the inland port in this area (Environmental Protection Authority 2013). Through the proposed plan change, it pursues to add objectives, and policies to the District Plan that allows for urban development, therefore removing the prohibited activity status of urban development from the plan (Turner & Kyle 2014). There are many stakeholders, and individuals involved through this development and plan change consent. These groups involved include Hamilton City Council, Tainui Group Holdings Limited and Chedworth Properties limited, as well as many other submitters, from other organisations and affected parties.
