High-rise rush threatening city's liveability



A high-rise housing ''gold rush'' is eroding Melbourne's edge as a liveable city, with an extra 39,000 apartments planned for the next three years!!



 Uncontrolled housing growth would be a blow to Melbourne's reputation as an attractive city in which to live and work -- More than 22,000 inner-city units were constructed between 2010 and 2012, and another 39,000 have been released for sale by the end of 2015 in towers where construction or off-the-plan marketing has already begun.

The city is heading towards becoming a dormitory rather than a centre for knowledge-intensive industries = UNSUSTAINABLE (research by Monash Uni)
