Urban Sprawl or Consolidation: Jordan Springs

1. This is an example of urban sprawl as a new suburb is being created. Jordan Springs is a new suburb that will focus on allowing thousands of new residents into the complex. This suburb is close to the Penrith CBD but far away from the city. It is a brand new community that will have many new opportunities that have not been there before.

2. This new suburb is a positive for the surrounding community as it will increase business. The suburb will be subject to gentrification as many wealthy people will come in buying houses as it offers a lot for the people that live their. It has great opportunities for the people that live their, it promotes jobs, schools and it's a great area for kids as it has many facilities including parks and other areas for children to play at. It also includes public transport that hopes to reduce the number of cars on the road. This new suburb does not help Sydney as it means that Sydney has to send out resources all the way to Penrith. Otherwise this community is a positive for the community as it offers so much but it is a very controversial topic.
