Why Sydney will no longer remain a livable city by 2035



By Leela Ghimire

As mentioned, this is hasty generalization on why Sydney will no longer remain a Livable City by 2035 i.e in next 20 years, these are some assumptions made on a day to day experiences of one individual living in this city for just about two and half years. These assumptions are not fact driven and in social science though assumptions are also derived from different numerical facts collected, what one should not forget is these are again mere assumptions which may change in due course of time because of different unexpected factors coming and going on the way.

This generalization will not try to deal minutely or will not classify the different reasons on the basis of their nature, like whether they are economical or social or technological. Instead these are some random points of reasons observed from a single men's perceptions and how these perceptions about Sydney are gradually changing towards bad.



Again while these assumptions will definitely not help government planners and policy makers to to some major changes reading this, some people might try and change their own behavior on certain things which they feel they were doing not-right. This will surely help to strengthen the base of Sydney to remain a Livable City even after 2035. And this is not an assumption. Its a fact.


NSW government's planning division has projected that this State's population will rise by 2 million by 2031. While moderate population is a major factor for a place to be livable, more population will lead to a disastrous living.

Nepalis in Sydney, Australia protesting against the indian government's 'Nepal Blockade'.



Though india is giving this blockade an unofficial status, many evidences prove that this is a real blockade india is imposing to Nepal.



India being a Culturally and Geographically nearest neighbor to Nepal is imposing blocked to Nepal, citing issues of violence and unrest at its Boarders due to the continuous protest of a faction of Nepalese populations demanding the promulgation of Newly drafted constitution that came into effect on 20th of September 2015.

रामवरण यादवले िवर्सन नसक्नेमध्येकाे एक समय । (That one moment Outgoing Prez of Nepal MR Rambaran Yadab can not forget)





When Rambaran Yadav stopped the then PM Prachanda's decison to sack the then COAS Rugmangad Katawal, YCL a young cadre now dissolved wing of Maoist make them into the streets of Kathmandu declaring Mr. Yadaab a New King like Gyanendra Shah.



But this YCL and the whole of the Maoists Party's supporters agitating force was not sufficient to scare the of Pez's for his resignation. Instead PM Prachhanda Resigned on the moral ground that the COAS didnot obeyed his decision. This event is now remembered as 'Katuwal Kanda' in the political history of Nepal.




Even the Burning tyres and its smoke did not reach 'Sital Niwas' to suffocate Prez. Yadav



So big a Party Flag, so small a National Flag.
