Alexandria

Alexandria is an inner-city suburb of Sydney. Alexandria is located 4 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district and is part of the local government area of the City of Sydney.

It is an industrial area in Sydney, trucks increase the local noise level. The biggest changing form past to now is the increasing number of cafes in this area.

Streets are the fundamental to create city shape. When observe a street, we should observe its width, function, traffic flow, bicycle lanes and residential around. We passed by the streets and lane ways which are parallel to Botany Road and cross with Reserve Street. We discussed the reasons to have parking areas in front of the buildings which can increase window shopping. The residential building types around are typical Australian terraces. As mentioned before, it is a noisy place, street trees can help to absorb noise.
