Abstract
The chapter firstly reviews the background to Pyrmont and Ultimo, suburbs within the City West area of the City of Sydney. A main planning issue in Pyrmont and Ultimo has been government sponsored redevelopment (planning commencing in the 1970s) at the same time government has had to ensure neighbourhood preservation. Indicators of sustainability (as adopted in Chap. 1) are then applied to the Pyrmont and Ultimo District to gauge the extent of urban sustainability achieved by 2014, particularly in the context of the neighbourhood preservation. Finally, conclusions are reached and lessons learned are outlined.
