Through observing the streets of Pyrmont/Ultimo mainly Harris St, there were live examples of gentrification of commercial businesses that are still present today such as; old school pubs that were mainly made of/ had tiled walls and were located on the corner of almost of every street that had been gentrificated either into cafe-restaurants or medical practises.

    One group of people City Road appears to cater more for is the younger student generation that prefer to go out in the evenings to socialise and this is demonstrated in the replacement of the car trade previously seen on the street with numerous restaurants and takeaways that open much later. Lloyd Robson describes the area as a ‘Magnet for young people’ (Making Social Lives DVD, scene 8) The older generation prefer to gather during the day in the Taste Buds café over a cup of coffee to maintain their traditional sense of community, but won’t visit the street at night when it becomes awash with students. This has contributed to the older generation feeling disconnected as, in the most part, they don’t want to visit a lively and loud bar or takeaway of which there are plenty and Bob Keohane confirms this when he states that ‘every other shop is a takeaway’ (Making Social Lives DVD, scene 6). The members of the Municipal Club, predominantly older men, tell of how they feel unsafe with more younger people on the street at night, despite numerous CCTV cameras, and how the club is unlikely to survive with the cycle of more students coming to the area, so more contemporary bars are opening to keep them coming, the less the older generation want to frequent the street in the evenings.…
