The focus is on the issue of density within the suburbs. The Urban Sprawl creates physical and social gaps with the fellow neighbour as well as sustaining a preference for the car as the main mode of transport. There are de nite bene ts to analysing how we can bridge sense of community and

The requirement was data that focused on the transport system in Sydney and how it relates to the proportion of people that catch public transport and who uses cars to get to work . We also collated data on the number of multi-unit dwelling levels by suburb. Craig Alchin Who Designs the City? Overlaying this data showed that areas which contained more multi-unit dwellSydney has high density in the inner city area but outside of that Looking at analysing Sydney as an elevation with Paris and Tokyo.

A further analysis of density around public transport showed the public transport use and multi-unit density levels fell o dramatically
