I made the attached pic on the way to dinner with TDU folk last night.

2069 is in Peel St at the Dudley St intersection near Victoria Market.

The backdrop is a wall of high rise buildings. mostly apartments
approved during the period when then planning minister Mathew Guy was
dubbed "Mr Skyscraper".

Mal Rowe who reckons that planning requires a bit of pride in the city
to balance the demands of developers

But that's in the centre of Melbourne. Have a look at the "suburban Village" of Chatswood in the metro video I posted a couple of threads back. Parramatta is on its way to out-skyscrapering Perth or Adelaide. That's progress and population growth folks. Will anybody here be around when Sydney and Melbourne reach 10 million?

Like it or loathe it, it makes a pretty impressive tramscape. Thanks for posting it, Mal.
