Abstract
The City West Urban Strategy is concerned with redevelopment in part of inner metropolitan Sydney. Such plans should not be seen in isolation, but in a wider temporal and spatial context. Pyrmont and Ultimo have been undergoing significant socioeconomic changes for a decade and this trend is likely to be reinforced and intensified if the Strategy is implemented. Also the recent and projected changes are consistent with a global pattern of restructuring in urban waterfront areas where former port and industrial functions have declined.Keywords
