5 times, that is, 5:1. But the CBD (with dense high rises) size comparison is like 500:1. However, we do seem to have more trees.

Why do you want our nice little city to turn into a monster horror like these citys???

Sure were small but we are also easy going and memorable in the right ways. Big isn't always better....

I wouldnt want Sydney to turn out like whats in those photos.

But the fact cant be ignored that Sydney needs to either expand out or up.

Whatever the case we are only ever going to recieve second best because of the state governments that have been in power and are still in power.


I mean if Sydney were to get the best the Eastern suburbs would have had, by now, a comprehensive underground metro rail line that would have stations right on the promenades of the major beaches like Bondi, Coogee and Maroubra.
But not with this government. Theyre too busy applying themselves to some ridiculous UN charter based on the global warming scam.

You are right, you are right... However I do think a city of 4.25 million people deserves a much larger CBD area than the current one. (At least make it to Glebe, right? And we should build some real elevated bridges over some 5kms, which we don't have, you know about the traffic jam on Parramatta Rd and other main roads? Not good. Too few lanes and too poor surface... And we will also want to improve our shopping environment, build larger and more luxury shopping malls and super-markets. Because I am not satisfied with the current situation, especially the hardware side of the city, as compared to many other overseas cities, in the new century (For sure, 8 years has passed away real quick...). We must stive forward, Aussies!)

I think you'll find a company run by Frank Lowy is going to revitalize a large area in and around Centrepoint. I think hes also going to have the old Woolworths building out front the Sydney Townhall pulled down and then build something new on top of it.

The good thing is that is actually good news, the bad thing is that it would probably take them a long time to build it. I hope they finish it in 5 years. It's just one building, nothing much right, low ceiling 40 storeys at most, so please finish it soon and make it look nice.

If they can make it a 40 storey high ceiling one with luxury lobby at the intersection there of up to 180 - 200 meters (around 600 ft), that'll be a little bit cooler, and I'll be impressed a little... bit... more...

Im not particulary impressed.

The state government has made a mess of things and the people of Sydney have missed out. There is so much that could have been done with Sydney in the way of construction and planning but unfortunately when it comes to civil planning the NSW labour government acts more like a gestapo than a body of professionals.
