In this episode, Jon Williams talks about the current state of affairs in the Perth ‘urban sprawl’ debate with architect, councillor and editor of Architect WA magazine, Sandy Anghie.
There’s no doubt that Perth is one of the best places in Australia to live. The lifestyle enjoyed here is hard to match even on a global scale. But one of the things we struggle with is how we manage our population growth.
You see one of the major issues town planners face is the challenge of urban sprawl. It is characterized by a spread of low-density residential housing in new ‘green fields’ subdivisions to our north, south and east.
Sandy explains how we can best prepare our city for a balanced and vibrant place to live for future generations.
As the image of your dream home on a quarter acre block fades away, there is no doubt that as Perth evolves, we will all need to reframe our thinking around the future of the great density debate.
