Boomtown 2050: Scenarios for a City of 3 Million People in 2050 Part 2

摘要

Network city: the government of western australia's current planning document titled network city claims that infill strategies such as the densification of existing suburbs around activity centres (transport nodes and shopping centres) can accommodate sixty percent of the 700,000 people it predicts will be added to the city by 2031. This is, however, unlikely to occur because there are 23,000 hectares of land on the city's periphery that are currently zoned for residential development. This land alone can accommodate 634,800 new residents at an orthodox twelve homes per hectare. For the purposes of conducting the stacking scenarios we are assuming that an urban growth boundary is applied to the city once these 23,000 hectares are developed. Subtracting these 634,800 people from the 2050 projection of 1.5 million leaves 865,200 people to be accommodated by infill development (figure 1).
