West Australians believe the state’s capital will need to rapidly decarbonise and diversify its mining-dependent economy, halt urban sprawl and support more apartments if it is to accommodate 3.5 million people by 2050, according to a new report by a Perth think-tank.
I wish infinite growth on a finite planet wasn’t somehow a forgone conclusion.
Locally, I don’t think cities get better past a certain size.
Even if we get people living in apartments instead of suburban sprawl, it still makes for too many people putting demand on natural attractions, resources etc.
Besides, I don’t see us shifting to apartments any time soon. The issue is apartments cost far too much per square metre to construct compared to suburban project homes.
