How Sydney Plans to Fit an Extra 1. 3 Million People by 2046 The latest iteration of the Sydney Plan aims to accommodate an additional 1. 3 million residents by 2046.
While the plan's emphasis on building density near public transport hubs in eastern Sydney is a welcome shift towards more sustainable urban planning, concerns remain about gentrification and the uneven distribution of benefits across different regions.
Previous regional plans had earmarked western Sydney as a major economic powerhouse, but the new plan prioritizes eastern Sydney for housing and jobs growth.
