Week 5 - The Sustainability of Our Economy

When developing the sustainability of Brisbane within our scenario, we had to look at how Brisbane would be sustainable more as an economy and commercially rather than finding how it would be sustainable environmentally.

Our scenario explains five major companies attaining the rights to purchase pockets of Brisbane, in return having complete planning rights of that area. The below diagrams explain the gross profits gained by each of the major 5 within a year and also depict the amount invested in Brisbane.








With such a strong stake hold in Brisbane these companies would find it beneficial to infiltrate the govenrmental system of Australia and therefore having even more of a control over the lifestyles and urban environment. We understand the ethical this would have on Brisbane but with the state of the economy after the recession of all our assets Brisbane would be so desperate they would over look the ethical questions this would raise. Corruption would occur and the major 5 would have their own stake hold within the government.
