Sydney has fancied itself as a global city and consistently ranks high in various international comparisons. And, there’s no doubt that it’s a great place to live.
But, in terms of high rise buildings and high density living it is falling behind many other established and newer cities. That’s not surprising internationally when you consider the dizzying heights and massively scaled developments in the US, Middle East, India and China. But, Sydney’s also falling behind Melbourne and Brisbane where taller buildings are now being be built.
But that might change if some new proposals Sydney reported in the Fifth Estate last week are implemented.
If Chris Johnson, of the Urban Taskforce, gets his way then the restrictions on building height in the Sydney and North Sydney business districts would be removed and our tallest building, the 309 metre Sydney Tower, will soon be dwarfed by new mega buildings.
Just look at some of the computer generated images of what things could look like in Sydney's future.
It’s like Sydney buildings started taking steroids and suddenly got a whole lot bigger.
Can’t wait to see it happen.
