520			_aLooks to Australia for the direction future urban development might take in the UK following the Barker review. The release of housing land for affordable owner-occupied housing has been the norm in Australia with the consequence that urban sprawl has happened on a scale unknown in Europe. Melbourne accommodates less than half London's population on the same amount of land. Discusses the Melbourne 2030 strategic plan which establishes an urban growth boundary for the first time and encourages developers to bring forward projects in places identified in the document. Forty per cent of the city's planned housing will be located around 50 activity centres that are designed to be high-density developments around transport centres. Lists key facts about Melbourne and touches on Victoria's infrastructure funding solutions and the cost downside of Sydney's housing policy.
