news.com.au：悉尼需要为未来的人口增长做好计划

新州计划厅长Pru Goward说，如果新州政府不做好计划，以后悉尼市将会越来越乱。

根据新州计划厅的预测，到2031年，悉尼人口将增加160万到630万。

周四，新州计划厅还预测，今后20年有200万人移民到新州各地。

新州人口将增加到920万。

计划厅长Pru Goward说上述数字给我们发出了一个明确的信息。

我们如果不计划好来应对人口的增长，特别是小家庭的增长，我们最终将面对一个非常混乱的城市。

她说，我们必须认真对待人口预测问题。

这些预测对我们悉尼市的规划，社区和地方政府敲响了一个警钟。

悉尼大学城市规划教授Peter Phibbs说，悉尼在未来20年，将会有更多的老人。

到2031年，悉尼将会有超过一百万的人口年龄高于65岁。

他说，新州规划者面临的最大挑战是继续保持悉尼是一个负担得起的城市 - 尤其是对那些在悉尼长大的年轻人。

Peter Phibbs教授说，悉尼市的一人或者两人家庭将会大幅增加，特别是在市中心范围内。

预计每年都会有1%到2%的增长。

他说，很多人年轻人将搬去悉尼市中心附近的小公寓居住。

城市规划师今后需要好好想想，如何设计出悉尼成为一个关爱老人的城市，提供对应类型的住房给他们。

Sydney needs a plan for future population

SYDNEY will end up a mess if planning action is not taken now, NSW planning minister Pru Goward says.

Figures from the Department of Planning and Environment predict an extra 1.6 million people are expected to move to Sydney by 2031, taking the city's population to six million.

The report released on Thursday predicted another two million people were expected to call NSW home in the next two decades, when the state's population would reach 9.2 million.

Ms Goward said the figures send a clear message.

"If we don't plan for this crisis, and particularly plan for growth in one- and two-person households, we're going to end up with a city in a mess," she told Macquarie Radio on Thursday.

"We have to take these population projections seriously."

She said the projections were a wake-up call for planning, for communities and for local government.

Peter Phibbs, Professor of Urban Planning at the University of Sydney says the city is going to see a lot more older people over the next 20 years.

"There's going to be almost a million people 65 years or over in Sydney by 2031."

He said the biggest challenge for planners is keeping Sydney an affordable city - especially for younger people.

The one-person household is the fastest growing household - especially in the CBD - growing at annual growth rate of two per cent, he said.

"A lot of younger people might be looking at smaller apartments in other cities," he told ABC radio on Thursday.

Planners needed to "think hard" about designing an age-friendly city, he said, as well as the types of housing available.
