Table 14.2
below summarises the number of dwellings likely to be created in each of these projects, and
an indication of the additional population that could be housed in these places. Taken together, these
projects alone could create approximately 19,000 new dwellings, accommodating a resident population of
nearly 40,000 people.
The renewal of urban neighbourhoods and construction of new dwellings and infrastructure provides the
opportunity to adopt new technologies that improves the resilience of neighbourhoods. For example, new
homes that are carefully oriented and adopt best practice energy efficiency technologies will improve the
quality of life for their occupants in a warmer climate characterised by more extreme weather events such
as storms and heat waves. Similarly, the layout of renewal of neighbourhoods can encourage a sense of
safety in public spaces – when people feel safe and thus use public spaces, they are more likely to
develop local networks that may assist in an emergency situation.
