Task:
Prepare a report on the urban dynamics operating in the city of Sydney. You must include the following:
Describe the suburbs of Sydney which are affected by each Urban Dynamic, and;
Analyse the impact of these urban dynamics on the cultural and physical environments of the affected suburbs.
Your report must be no more than 2000 words. It must include pictures, maps and relevant diagrams. It must also incorporate fieldwork research which we will conduct as a class.
This task relates specifically to the last section in the Urban Places topic. I have included a copy of this section below:
