Teh West has got its knickers in a twist about an article by The Guardian’s George Monbiot that labels Perth a ‘wildly unsustainable, disagregated urban nightmare’
http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/newshome/9775495/perth-an-urban-horror-activist/
reading the article itself Monbiot only mentions Perth in passing, along with Adelaide and Brisbane.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/georgemonbiot/2011/jun/30/sustainable-cities-urban-planning?INTCMP=SRCH
that prat Weller from UWA , who sells himself as an expert on town planning suggests that Perth has ‘worked really, really well until now’. Possibly because he lives in the western suburbs and never has to travel on the freeway. I wonder if he’s ever been to Darch.
Curious that Teh West refers to The Guardian as a ‘news-paper’. It’s almost as if they are unfamiliar with the concept.

if perth works so well, why has weller written a book about how better to develop it by 2050?
fabio lookalike…
LikeLike
Monbiot is right on this, en passant. Weller wrote the 2050 book stating in very clear terms that the infrastructure and population that has immigrated here over the past 180 years will have to be duplicated in the next 40. That’s where the growth predictions are heading, yet the developers are screaming for more and more land to be released for R20 and R30 block, further on the fringe, two cars and a Macdonalds to go, drop the brat at childcare and wonder when the footpaths are going to be built in shitty cardboard built houses in Banksia Grove, Baldivis, Byford, Ellenbrook. No fucking public transport, make some speed to get the $400k mortgage paid off.
Weller’s statement about Perth ‘working well til now’ relates directly to that. Where are the WA town planners, social networkers and ooshta proponents going to put another 1.5million human sausages – all eating shitting, breathing vibrancy seeking, attention craving glassing cunts going to go?
Like Ian McHarg he overlays topography, geology, environmental opportunities and onstraints and tries to find ways of placing that many people into various development scenarios.
Essentially Perth is heading towards even further LA sprawl – south past Mandurah to Bunbury, north past Lancelin and increasing development through the scarp, hills and beyond. And Troy Buswell’s big plan is for an expressway from the CBD to the airport, and cant even get that thing going.
FFS Peter Newman is actually right. build the light rail through the knowledge arc and allow the urban density along the route to increase to R200+ Get some population density serviced by mass transit. Are DAP’s going to do this, or will insular Councillors continue to be concerned with cat spaying?

Interesting comment about a fascinating situation- I would just like to say that LA-style sprawl is far more urban in form than most people, myself until very recently included, suppose. Downtown LA is a historic core that resembles pre-war New York or Chicago and there are numerous other “downtowns” with similar urban features. Apartment life is standard for a wide swath of Angelinos at every income level and has been so historically.

I wasn’t even aware that they still printed the weekly. The news cycle is now 80 hours so a weekly paper is a bit defunct. Even a daily is pointless if you’ve already read it online.
I assume that Teh West refers to The Grauniad as a news-paper to diffentiate it from those papers where the majority of content is advertising. And I wish they’d stop referring to it as a London paper. It will forever in my heart be the Manchester Guardian.
