Analyse the impact of at least TWO urban dynamics on the growth,development, future trends and ecological sustainability, of a large city in the developed world. Both urban sprawl and urban consolidation are urban dynamics which are a result of Sydney’s population growth. Urban sprawl is the extreme spread of an urban place of which has made large impacts particularly on the growth and ecological sustainability of the outskirts of Sydney. More affordable and more spatial housing is made available, however there are many negative impacts on the ecological environment, including land degradation. The urban consolidation of inner city areas in Sydney such as Pyrmont has played a large role in the areas development of culture and future trends including the increase of high-rise residential buildings due to the increased population density.
GENTRIFICATION : AN ETHICAL DILEMMA IN A CHANGING WORLD INTRODUCTION Today's urban areas have evolved from manufacturing focused hubs to community based centers focused on services. With that change a heavily debated issue of gentrification has arisen. Areas previously occupied by low income manual laborers are being converted to trendy middle class neighborhoods. Understanding what gentrification is, why it is an ethical issue, who is making the decisions, and what the effects of the decision to gentrify a neighborhood are will provide the basis for an informed opinion on this growing topic. Each of the sections below will examine an aspect related to the benefits and detriments of gentrification, and will allow for a cohesive understanding of an issue that will continue to be hotly contested, not just in the United States but globally.

The human psyche is driven by the desire to feel accepted and included followed by the underlying feature to socialise. This is explored through the concept of belonging which creates a duality nature in which an individual’s ability to interact with others in society can be of a positive and negative influence. Factors like the environment consist of social and cultural constructs which define a human’s sense of identity as it facilitates the notion of shared experiences and interest. However a lack of mutual identity can be of a negative nature as it isolates those who cannot conform to the expectation of other’s. On this basis, shared identity is clearly evident in Peter Skrzynecki’s anthology; The Immigrant Chronicles who describes the
I believe that there are certain circumstances when an individual that has a location-enabled device should be informed when they are in possession of such an object.

Correlating variables such as income and age should be studied more in depth to determine if and how they contribute to partisanship intensity. Also, the study was conducted in a unique region (San Diego) that may hold its own set of unique behaviors among different ethnic groups. In order to better analyze the whole of America, research should be done in different states and cities on a much larger scale in order to more effectively generalize the relationship to the entire
‘Belonging is as much about choices as it is about circumstances that an individual cannot control’ To what extent is this view of belonging communicated in your prescribed text and ONE other text of your own choosing? Belonging is a part of human nature and is a crucial emotion that allows individuals to gain a sense of identity and connection. Historical, social and cultural influences may contribute in forming an individual’s sense of belonging to a certain person, place or community. However despite its inclusive nature, a failure to belong can limit an individual’s sense of belonging as well as cause psychological damage to them. These notions of belonging are exemplified through Peter Skrzynecki’s Immigrant Chronicle poem’s Felix
As a result of the dramatic increase in the immigrant population, acculturation has become an important concept in the explanation of the varied experiences of ethnic and cultural minorities (Agbayani, 2007). Understanding acculturation processes, strategies, expectations, and stressors are important as international migration, economic globalization, and political conflicts arise in the creation of multicultural societies (Trimple, 2003).
