SYDNEY REGION
1. Introduction
Sustainability can be referred to as a procedure to maintain changes in a balanced
environment, where exploitation of resources, technology orientation and investment
direction is possible for enhancement of current and future potential and thus meeting
aspirations and individual requirements (Wheeler, 2019). A sustainable city is designed after
consideration of environmental, economic and social impacts as well as resilient habitat for
existing citizens without even compromising the core capability of the future generations to
experience these impacts.
The population growth, government policies and even the technological changes are
required to be analysed for understanding sustainability of that particular city. Greater
Sydney Region is the amalgamation of three cities in Australia for the core purpose of
connecting people (Greater Sydney Region Plan. 2019). The following essay outlines a brief
discussion on Greater Sydney Region planning for understanding the key criteria that are
required for measuring sustainability and also evaluation of sustainability in the respective
area. Moreover, the process of technological changes, government policies and plans
affecting sustainability of the city in future would also be provided in this report.

2.1 Key Criteria for Measuring Sustainability of Cities
A sustainable city is eventually inhabited by people, who are majorly dedicated
towards reduction of needed inputs like food, water, heat output, energy and many more
(Pickett et al., 2013). A massive as well as sustained attack over the cities of Australia have
been extremely common and the major reason for this type of attack was sustainability.
Environmental stress is required to be reduced for making them more urban. Such urban
systems could even be more sustainable in terms of environment as compared to sub urban
