3/4 of Australian banks have headquarters (HQ) in Sydney
2/3 of multinational corporations have Asia-Pacific Regional HQs in Sydney
60 multinational corporations set up Asia-Pacific regional HQs in Sydney in the late '90s◦ More than 4 times the total for any other Australian or New
Zealand cities
Sydney captured the "Lion’s Share" as a result of a “world-city” growth process
Sydney’s Changing Role From National Centre to Global Centre
Objectives◦ To consider the urban structural change in Sydney especially focusing on both:
building provision process in the CBD building use in the CBD
Data◦ GIS attribute data provided by the Sydney City

Built Year Older age buildings
concentrate in the area close to Circular Quay
Expansion in the '70s and '80s along Pitt and George streets
Newer buildings are dominant around Darling Harbour Precinct

Office Affordable office
spaces are limited ◦ Sydney's CBD is located
in a narrow strip
Newly emerging industries (e.g. IT and
media) dispersed into neighbouring areas◦ Multi-nuclei
metropolitan structure emerged
Office spaces are more likely to be dedicated for "FIRE"

Residential "Condo-boom" is
common in the Darling Harbour Precinct
Many high-rise self-contained condominiums adjacent to the CBD◦ Offering young
professional people "city living"

Restaurant and cafés Restaurants and cafés
are limited in areas
They are dominant only in commercial precincts◦ Circular Quay◦ Pitt street mall◦ China town◦ Darling Harbour
The rate is not high in newer buildings
These buildings were designed for promoting mixed-use rather than single purpose use

“Condo-boom” has attracted many “gentrifiers” in the world.
They are described as “financiers”, “IT-related workers”, “rising class”, “young professionals”, “dinks” and “high income workers,” etc.
What types of people become “new comers” to Sydney?
We focused on “FIRE” people as the representative of “gentrifiers”.
Discussion: Where do gentrifiers live?
Share of people who work in “FIRE”
High shares are obvious within 5 km radius from the CBD

Number of people who work in “FIRE”

Preferred areas by "FIRE" are not limited to the narrow extent of the CBD
What's found in this study seems different from those of previous studies in London and New York
Those questions remain unanswered◦ Who is the new comer?◦ Where do labeled "gentrifiers" live in Sydney?◦ What's the difference between Sydney and other
"world cities?"
Concluding Remarks
Thank you for your attention
