EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the early stages of a housing development in Kellyville Ridge, North-West Sydney. As the city grapples with its mounting housing problems, this image represents a critical crossroad for Sydney's future. Part of a thought-provoking series on Sydney's urban sprawl by photographer Andrew Merry, this print showcases the creation of new suburbs and essential infrastructure such as roads, parks, and power lines. However, it also sheds light on the contentious issue surrounding urban sprawl in this vibrant metropolis. Opinions remain divided on whether expanding the city to accommodate more residents is necessary or if it will exacerbate existing challenges like thinly spread infrastructure and transportation systems over an ever-increasing area. The photograph serves as a visual reminder that these debates are far from settled. Moreover, amidst discussions about urban expansion lies another pressing concern – housing affordability. Even on the outskirts of Sydney, individuals find themselves unable to afford suitable accommodation. This critical issue underscores the urgency for innovative solutions that balance growth with accessibility for all residents. Andrew Merry's stunning capture invites viewers to reflect upon these complex dilemmas facing Australia's largest city while marveling at its evolving landscape.
