Jordan Springs

1.  Is this an example of urban consolidation or urban sprawl? Why?
It is an example of urban sprawl, as it is a new development not extending an existing infrastructure. It is made 7km out of Penrith so its out of the way and made on a mass land. It holds 2500 homes. 


2. Do you think that this development is positive or negative for the surrounding community? For Sydney? For Australia? 
I believe it can be positive as it creates job opportunities for trade workers, however it also pull people out of the surrounding suburbs, therefore could also have a negative impact.
