Year 10: Urban Sprawl or Consolidation: Jordan Springs

1. This is an example of urban sprawl because the new suburb called 'Penrith' is going to spread. It spreaded by 900 ha. Its expanding in a very large area but they are not going build high buildings. They also said that they are going to build bicycle roads, sports oval, playgrounds and hiking trails.
2. I think this development would be positive because the population will increase and the local jobs will increase so the state money would increase and more shops will move to that area and increase the state and Australia money. However, since there will be lots of man-made buildings and lakes, it can disrupts the ecosystems which is very important for Australia.
