ABSTRACT This paper examines the spatial implications of Sydney’s vertical expansion over the past decade. Enabled by a partnership between market forces and strategic planning policy, the data indicate that the city’s high-density development boom has been primarily shaped by economic viability concerns, driving a spatial policy shift to better align better with market forces. The paper concludes that in the absence of more comprehensive housing and urban policies, housing supply ultimately remains primarily a numbers game, delivered where the market finds it most profitable to do so, with planning acting to facilitate development in these locations.

澳大利亚城市的垂直蔓延：悉尼的高层住宅发展热潮

摘要本文研究了过去十年悉尼垂直扩展的空间意义。通过市场力量与战略规划政策之间的合作伙伴关系，数据表明，该城市的高密度发展热潮主要是由对经济可行性的关注所决定的，从而推动了空间政策的转变，以更好地与市场力量保持一致。本文的结论是，在缺乏更全面的住房和城市政策的情况下，住房供应最终最终仍然主要是数字游戏，在市场认为这样做最有利可图的地方交付，并计划采取行动促进这些地区的发展。
