    The Sydney suburbs of Pyrmont and ultimo are located on a peninsula on the western side of darling harbor. In earlier days the two suburbs ran along Union Street. Now the Pyrmont-Ultimo peninsula is a long strip of land known by locals that it is ‘into the deep waters of Sydney Harbour’. Beginning in the early 1800s the Pyrmont-Ultimo area was once occupied by many ‘blue-collar’ workers generally known as manual labour workers, the area was surrounded by industrial areas or the waterfronts. Since then there has occurred significant gentrification of old industrial sites and decayed buildings occurring in the Pyrmont- Ultimo peninsula, with the old buildings and sites being transformed into residential, commercial and community sites.

    Social Polarisation

    • 7 Pages

    The social polarisation ideology was developed by Sassen (1991) and illustrated the connection between globalisation and social and occupational structures in megacities (Norgaard, 2003; 103). Sassen argues that there has been a polarization of income distribution and occupational distribution among the population, with a higher incidence of jobs at the higher and lower paying ends of the scale, and a decline in the numbers of middle-income jobs associated with the downgrading of the manufacturing sector (Woodward, 1995; 78). Sassen’s argument is based on two global cities; Los Angeles and New York, the empirical analysis displayed that New York’s employment structure has been restructured significantly mainly due to the decline of the manufacturing industry.…

    The primary sector of industry as a whole is declining. Although there are areas in which profit can be made including extraction of minerals (sand, gravel) and organic food production, there are no longer many advantages to start a new business in the sector where the output is falling down. The trend for farms like Seldom Seen Farm which produce fruits and vegetables or red meat (beef, pork, lamb) has gone down and has been replaced by fish farms and food organics farms which are much more payable. One of possible reasons of this situation are constant changes in the environment because it is difficult to predict how much will be produced at the end of the season or much more healthier style of our life. Another good example are ‘non-renewable’ products such as coal. There are left not many companies like UK Coal (the biggest Britain’s producer) which at the moment is making a loss in profits (has closed several deep mines, including Harworth Colliery, in an effort to cut costs). This is because these kind of minerals are limited in supply and eventually will be completely used up. Finding new sources become very difficult and much more expensive and this is why the United Kingdom imports a considerable amount of its non-renewable resources from different countries. Other reasons of declining in the primary sector are prices which are not stable and frequently change and small proportion of income which is spent on primary sector products, which make difficult to increase prices. The UK has a low proportion of people working in the primary industry. Only 2% of English workers are employed in this sector.…
