Green Square is an inner-southern locality of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The locale is at a five-way intersection where the four suburbs of Alexandria, Zetland, Waterloo and Beaconsfield meet.[1] The precincts are linked by Ebsworth Street, Sydney's first new high street in a century,[2] and Zetland Avenue west, a new tree-lined boulevard inspired by avenues in Manhattan with a long row of aligned traffic lights.[3]
The Green Square Town Centre is undergoing one of the largest urban renewal projects undertaken in Australia. The urban renewal project, spanning 278 hectares,[4] has received criticism for projections that its population will peak at around 60,000 residents and 21,000 workers by 2030.[5]
However, this level of population density would not rank in the top 200 densely populated districts in the world.[6][circular reference] At 21,500 residents per square kilometre in the year 2030, Green Square's population density would be approximately one-third of Yorkville on the Upper East Side of Manhattan at over 60,000 residents per square kilometre, one-half of the Roquette district in Paris at over 40,000 residents per square kilometre, and in line with Tribeca or Midtown Manhattan at approximately 20,000 residents per square kilometre.
