Geography Extended Response

Communities never stay static and within the worlds globalisation and population ever-expanding, communities must change and adapt to the growing demand within the area. An example of this is St Ives in Sydney. Majority of St Ives are either of Jewish descent or of South African descent. With a population of 14207 within the 14.39 km2 and within an urban area of Sydney, St Ives is ever growing. This suburb, within the North Shore, is a sought after part of Sydney both for its schools and its location in comparison to the city. With more and more people wanting to move within the area, St Ives is having to develop less low density housing and more medium density housing (less houses and more apartment blocks). The effect of the change within the area means that St Ives is becoming more like a confined metropolis rather than a quite suburb.
