  1. Time series skyline and employment changes in Sydney, Australia DrJun TSUTSUMI (Ehime University, Japan) Dr Bruno PAROLIN (University of New South Wales, Australia) Correspondence to : jtsu@ehime-u.ac.jp Colour version of our paper is available online: http://www.gis.h.ehime-u.ac.jp/hp/Tsutsumi_Parolin_Sydney_2011.pdf

  2. Built Year North Circular Quay Darling Harbour China Town Google Earth Drawn by GIS Source: Sydney City Office

  3. Sydney’s Changing Role From National Centre to Global Centre • 3/4 of Australian banks have headquarters (HQ) in Sydney • 2/3 of multinational corporations have Asia-Pacific Regional HQs in Sydney • 60 multinational corporations set up Asia-Pacific regional HQs in Sydney in the late '90s • More than 4 times the total for any other Australian or New Zealand cities • Sydney captured the "Lion’s Share" as a result of a “world-city” growth process

  4. Objectives • To consider the urban structural change in Sydney especially focusing on both: • building provision process in the CBD • building use in the CBD • Data • GIS attribute data provided by the Sydney City Office • General statistics of Australian Bureau of Statistics • Customisedcensus data of ABS "Table Builder" • Various reports of Sydney City Office available on line

  5. Annual increase rates of employment in Sydney (1991-2006) Source: ABS Data for "FIRE" is created by summing numbers in the census TSP categories "Financial & Insurance services” and "Rental, hiring & Real Estate services."

  6. "English rate" in Sydney 1996 - 2006 Source: ABS

  7. Built Year • Older age buildings concentrate in the area close to Circular Quay • Expansion in the '70s and '80s along Pitt and George streets • Newerbuildings are dominant around Darling Harbour Precinct Source: Sydney City Office

  8. Office • Affordable office spaces are limited • Sydney's CBD is located in a narrow strip • Newly emerging industries (e.g. IT and media) dispersed into neighbouringareas • Multi-nuclei metropolitan structure emerged • Office spaces are more likely to be dedicated for "FIRE" Source: Sydney City Office

  9. Residential • "Condo-boom" is common in the Darling HarbourPrecinct • Many high-rise self-contained condominiums adjacent to the CBD • Offering young professional people "city living" Source: Sydney City Office

  10. Restaurant and cafés • Restaurants and cafés are limited in areas • They are dominant only in commercial precincts • Circular Quay • Pitt street mall • China town • Darling Harbour • The rate is not high in newer buildings • These buildings were designed for promoting mixed-use rather than single purpose use Source: Sydney City Office

  11. Floor space trend in Sydney N=102 N=137 Source: Sydney City Office

  12. Discussion: Where do gentrifiers live? • “Condo-boom” has attracted many “gentrifiers” in the world. • They are described as “financiers”, “IT-related workers”, “rising class”, “young professionals”, “dinks” and “high income workers,” etc. • What types of people become “new comers” to Sydney? • We focused on “FIRE” people as the representative of “gentrifiers”.

  13. Share of people who work in “FIRE” • High shares are obvious within 5 km radius from the CBD Source: Sydney City Office

  14. Number of people who work in “FIRE” Source: Sydney City Office

  15. Concluding Remarks • Preferred areas by "FIRE" are not limited to the narrow extent of the CBD • What's found in this study seems different from those of previous studies in London and New York • Those questions remain unanswered • Who is the new comer? • Where do labeled "gentrifiers" live in Sydney? • What's the difference between Sydney and other "world cities?"
