Micro-urbanism The tiny streets, blocks & houses of ‘Paddinghurst’ in inner city Sydney, breaking all those rules… - big trees in little streets - tiny lots (under 100m2) - overhanging balconies - guérilla gardening - bins, pots, bikes all out Oh… & no cars #publicsydney

This is a🧵for those with a romantic notion that switching on zoning for 3 storey walk-ups like those we had in the 70s (pictured below) is going to solve the #missingmiddle

Beyond simplistic NIMBY/YIMBY binary, not enough attention on highly opinionated but rarely design-trained planners & heritage officials @ many Councils.. Wrongly think height a heritage issue, contentedly deforming forms, meritless, squashing design.. smh.com.au/national/nsw/easy…

‘Easy target’: How heritage became a lightning rod in Sydney’s housing debate

So-called NIMBYs and YIMBYs are going into battle for Sydney’s future. At issue is whether heritage protection saves much-loved suburbs or locks young people out of them.

I like this ABC story on the Cocos Islands Golf Club - I think most golf should be like this - community driven and approachable #publicgolf @jamogolf instagram.com/reel/CyhO4Fxhk…

The case for #missingmiddle housing in Sydney’s middle ring. A thread… Map 1. Red dots are the places (around train stations) where you can catch the train home, pick up milk and bread on the way (street based retail) and walk the kids to a park before dinner (small green dots)

I promise this map is more impressive than it first appears. It ranks cities by how impressive their mountain backdrop is. The top comment in the link explains the methodology. I love this one. Such a smart idea! Source: buff.ly/3MNumTJ
