PROBLEMS
• Rapid population growth, increase of urban density
• Insufficient affordable housing stock for workers
SOLUTIONS
The City of Sydney council commissioned the Strickland Building in Chippendale in 1913 to
house poor working-class families who worked at nearby warehouses and wharves. The
mixed-use, solidly constructed building contains seventy-one apartments and eight shops
over three storeys. It was reputed to be the densest housing project in Sydney and it is the
first public housing in Australia.
