  1. Urban growth By Hannah McCormack

  2. Urban growth 85% of Australia’s population live in urban centres. In Newcastle co-owners in a significant proposition across four street blocks in the heart of the Newcastle's city centre. There is a vision for Newcastle central business district and making a decision to truncate the heavy rail line. They are very eager to press forward with the plan of the site located in hunter street mall.

  3. Urban renewal • Newcastle has change dramatically over the past 50 years. From honeysuckle being train sheds and where no one would ever go, to a beautiful harbour/foreshore full of restaurants, hotels and apartments and a great tourist attraction. They have a new Urban renewal plan to get artists to show there artwork on the buildings in the CBD to attract people to the CBD why they start to redevelop.

  4. Urban sprawl • Urban sprawl has happened so much around Newcastle to expanding the CBD o building new suburbs. They have built new major suburbs who have helped housing development in Newcastle and built many homes for people all over Newcastle. These suburbs are still expanding and becoming much larger. Also they have built homes around the CBD right in the heart of Newcastle near the nightlife and the beaches.

  5. Urban consolidation • Newcastle have built many apartments in the heart of Newcastle straight across the road from the beach. These apartments are huge and could fit 20 or more people in them. All over Newcastle we see this happening with more townhouses, apartments, units and duplexes being built throughout the city to fit more people in smaller space of land instead of using a massive piece of land for 4 people.

  6. Urban decay • Since the renewal of honeysuckle the other side of the train tracks, hunter street went into major decay. There was major migration of offices and larger retail shops. Other small retail shops went into business in hunter street but a number of them have gone under. There are old abandoned buildings full of graffiti like hunter streets old post office and makes hunter street very unappealing. Hunter street is now no longer a tourist attraction because no one wants to go spend there day looking at old buildings, graffiti everywhere and something that looks very derelict.

  7. gentrification • Newcastle are coming up with a strategy known “going for growth” which is to redevelop of low-income, low demand housing neighbourhoods and an introduction to more affluent population to these areas. Also to make more high end areas like the junction an area where people with low and high income can both live. By doing this it will allow the low-income neighbourhoods to have less criminal activity and allow people who don’t earn much money the change to live in nice suburban areas or the chance to live in the heart of Newcastle.
