     Geography Year 12 Urban Places
Sydney Olympic Park, 2127– A Case Study of Urban Renewal Outcomes:The student: H1 explains the changing nature, spatial patterns and interaction of ecosystems, urban places and economic activity H3 analyses contemporary urban dynamics and applies them in specific contexts H7 justifies geographical methods applicable and useful in the workplace and relevant to a changing world H8 plans geographical inquiries to analyse and synthesise information from a variety of sources H9 evaluates geographical information and sources for usefulness, validity and reliability H10 applies maps, graphs and statistics, photographs and fieldwork to analyse and integrate data in geographical contexts
H12 explains geographical patterns, processes and future trends through appropriate case studies and illustrative examples H13 communicates complex geographical information, ideas and issues effectively, using appropriate written and/or oral, cartographic and graphic forms.
Urban Dynamics
– social structure and spatial patterns of advantage and disadvantage, wealth and poverty, ethnicity – changing economic character, nature and location of residential land, commercial and industrial development – culture of place as expressed in the architecture, streetscape, heritage architecture, noise, colour, street life, energy, vitality and lifestyles – growth, development, future trends and ecological sustainability.

Plans for the Future – Master Plan 2030Graph the statistics from Page 8 to determine trends in the growth of visitation and population of Sydney Olympic Park over time. Watch the Master Plan 2030 video again back at school or at home and discuss the future direction of Sydney Olympic Park. http://www.sopa.nsw.gov.au/media/videos/animation_of_sydney_olympic_park_2030#content-main
Using the graph below, explain the trends that you can see in relation to the age groups living at the Park and how they are expected to change over time. Post Excursion ActivityExamine the historic auction advertisement for the sale of newly subdivided land in the Newington Estate in 1906. This sale of the subdivisions was unsuccessful. Examine the land uses and natural environments in this advertisement and discuss the possible reasons for the lack of interest in this land for private development. 
Post Excursion ActivityAnalyse this historic land subdivision map for the urban development surrounding the Homebush Bay area. Compare this map with a current map (from Google Earth) and discuss the changes in residential development between this historic map and today. Discuss the catalysts that have brought about these changes. 
Post Excursion ActivityIndustrial and urban changes over time in the Homebush Bay area Settlement type / Urban Dynamic: (indigenous settlement, colonisation, workers cottages, suburbanisation, urban decay, urban renewal)
1750 1800 1850 1900 1950 2000 2050 Economic Activity: (sustainable hunting & gathering / agriculture / salt harvesting & tannery / Royal Australian Naval Armaments Depot (RANAD) / Brick works &Abattoir / Chemical industries & Government Waste dumping sites/ warehousing & recreation/ Olympic Games, Tourism & recreation / Commercial & residential Glossary of TermsAbattoir – a slaughterhouse, where animals are killed for meat. Adaptive re-use – the process of reusing an old building or site for a purpose other than for which it was designed. This process contributes to land conservation and reduces urban sprawl. Brickworks – a company involved in extracting natural materials and using them to create bricks Culture of place – the way of life of a group of people/community. It can be observed through architecture, streetscape, heritage architecture, noise, colour, street life, energy, vitality and lifestyles Demographics – statistical data of a population. Statistics relating to age, income, employment and education are examples of demographics. Ecologically Sustainable Development – this is development that meets the needs of the present population without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Ethnicity - a social group that shares a common and distinctive culture, religion and language. Leachate – liquid that drains or leaches through landfill into the groundwater or local waterways,, taking chemicals or contaminates with it. The composition can vary depending on the type of waste the landfill contains. Passive solar design – the use of the sun’s energy for the heating and cooling of living or working spaces. Examples include window orientation, shading and window glazing. Remediation- environmental remediation involves the removal of contaminants from water, sediment or ground water. Re-purpose – adapt for use in a different purpose Socio-economic status – generally conceptualised as the social standing or class as an individual or group. It is commonly measured by combining education, income and occupation. Water Reclamations and Management Scheme (WRAMS) – a large scale integrated urban water system. It includes collection and treatment of sewage and stormwater, storage of stormwater and supply of recycled water for non-drinking uses to residents, sporting venues and commercial premises. Urban decay – a process where older parts of cities deteriorate and become neglected. Urban density – the number of people per km squared in an urban area. Urban renewal – the strategy of upgrading parts of a city through development which in turn, increases the population density.
