-Steady population increase in Urban Area.
-3rd most urbanized country (Australia)=86% leaving in Urban by the end of century
-This trend resulted in the need for Urban planning so that it can have high level of livability
-Urban Planning: Provision of inflasture(meaning the basic framework that support the operation of an Urban/rural area)
-This includes: water supplies, sewerage and drainage systems.

-An alternative to suburban sprawl is the urban village
-Exurbanisation- Strategy where existing towns within 100km if major city are provided with a fast rail service
-This requires major development often infrastructure mainly transporting router
-It is difficult for urban planners to design urban area wit high degree of livability
-The planner has made mistakes in the past
