The first bridge in the precinct was built in 1862 connecting Glebe Island and Pyrmont. Wentworth Park was created filling the land of Blackwattle Swamp and Creek in 1876.

explore the changes that have previously or will be occurring within the Pyrmont and Barangaroo areas. Urban decline is the quality of a built environment as it deteriorates. Urban infrastructure falls into a state of disrepair and buildings are left empty for long periods of time. Urban consolidation is when a population density increases in a suburb by utilising air space by building upwards. The suburbs of Barangaroo and Pyrmont are more heavily impacted by urban renewal as the land uses have dramatically
suburb of Pyrmont. The suburb of Pyrmont on the shores of Sydney Harbour has been transformed by the processes of urban renewal into a thriving cosmopolitan residential area, an efficient and sophisticated business centre, and a popular recreational and tourist hub. Through my own observation of the Pyrmont area, I have seen how the painstaking urban planning efforts for the area have come to fruition, and a focal point of the Harbour foreshore created as a result of this.

In 1900, Pyrmont was an important port and industrial area, with a population of almost 30 000 people. There was a wide range of industries and services present including wharves, dockyards, warehouses, abattoirs, wool stores, railway yards and even an incinerator for the disposal of Sydney’s waste.

When I speak of a mouse, I do not have to specify- “a little thing with whiskers, eyes, and a tail…” That would be almighty confusing, describing a fair few rodents. Rather, people have developed one sound for
Sydney is a world city that currently has urban dynamics operating in it. Sydney is located on the coast in the South-East quadrant of Australia. Urban Decay and Renewal is clearly evident in Pyrmont – Ultimo, a suburb located with in a kilometre from the CBD. Rhodes , further to the north west of Pyrmont, is also under going Urban Decay and Renewal. The silicon corridor is an area of places where companies have decided to suburbanise some of their office blocks due to the cheaper land. The corridor
Escher Museum (The Hague) This building was built in the late 18th century, somewhere around 1760. The architect of the palace, which is now used as a museum, is Pieter de Swart. He was a Dutch architect in the 18th century who, among other buildings, also designed Huis Huguetan in The Hague and the Delftse Poort in Rotterdam.
