With Sydney's population projected to reach 6.3 million by 2041, the city's housing market is under immense pressure. To address the growing demand, officials are considering repurposing unconventional spaces such as cemeteries, rifle ranges, and greyhound tracks into residential areas. This drastic measure may be the key to solving Sydney's affordability crisis, as the city struggles to provide adequate housing for its booming population, amid concerns over urban planning and sustainable development, and the need for innovative solutions to the housing shortage.
