Sustainable East has a dual meaning.
Based in Sydney’s Eastern Beaches, we wanted a name which reflected the great mix of housing density, the important of environment in day-to-day life and a reflection of where we are based.
The name has evolved to encompass the planning and infrastructure challenge of the eastward shift of global growth. Sustainable East acknowledges the importance of the Asian Century and the infrastructure and land use planning challenges and opportunities this brings to Australia.
“The Asian Century scenario extends Asia’s past success into the future, putting it on the cusp of a historic transformation.
In this scenario, Asia’s GDP (at market exchange rates) increases from $17 trillion in 2010 to $174 trillion in 2050, or half of global GDP, similar to its share of the global population.”
