From Old to New
Australia over the last 30 years has made great changes in its community by making successful progress to improve the quality of life. The population is living longer, education and health has improved, economy is becoming stronger and jobs are becoming more widely available. In saying this, sustainability in some key areas such as environmental sustainability and inequality still need to be improved. The natural environment has begun to decline and solutions for inequality need to be regulated. Australia also has the long-term issue for future generations having a lower standard of life due to non-renewable resource as the common source for the country in cities.
Efficient Ways of Living:
Wollongong as the focus city for sustainability will create a great impact on the urban structure of cities and act as a role model for other major cities in Australia. Wollongong will have a more efficient way of living as it produces a healthy and long lasting environment, gain equality for a social aspect and financially be beneficial for the government and Australia's population due to saving money from sustainable technologies. Using renewable energy and replacing old technologies with new sustainable up to date technologies will make Australia a more appealing settlement for the people living in current cities. Not only will Wollongong be saving a huge amount of money financially, the ways of living will be suitable for those future generations who wish to live life the same as our generations have - but with a environmentally caring nature. Creating a sustainable Australia will contribute to creating a more sustainable world, one that is better for not only us, but also everyone. The current urbanization of most cities is just wasting money with the excess amount of roads and cars. Instead new public transport systems would be easier to use and would save money financially. Also cities are obtaining most of their energy through coal, which is also a waste of money when solar panels and wind energy can produce the same amount of energy in a more sustainable and affordable way. New ideas and technologies to be set in Wollongong can limit previous problems from our current urban cities.
