context_page_description: The urban renewal of Sydney is an ongoing land redevelopment process that is creating and reviving new urban centres across Sydney, Australia. Urban renewal refers to the refurbishment of derelict buildings, streets or neighbourhoods and is accompanied with the process of gentrification attributed by changes in land use and deindustrialisation of areas. In 2020, there are several projects underway and planned including Barangaroo, The Bays Precinct and Green Square.
context_section_description: With the renewal and subsequent gentrification of inner-city Sydney, the displacement of residents was a common occurrence. These areas were often home to a marginalised ageing and industrial workforce and population, where the inward movement of professionals of middle and upper class and establishment of new mixed service outlets geared towards those with higher levels of disposable income in areas with historically low-income earners. Such displacement occurred for the inner-city area of Millers Point, where the surrounding deindustrialisation and later revitalisation of Walsh Bay and The Hungry Mile/East Darling Harbour (known today as Barangaroo) led to a cultural shift whereby the area become highly sought after with an increase in land values.
