Context Map
Parramatta
Sydney Harbour CBD
Sydney Olympic Park
Sydney Olympic Park: Rapid population growth and urbanization have led to a large increase in the construction of high-density concrete buildings in metropolitan unbalanced, and the heat island effect has exacerbated by rapid urbanization (Tan et al., 2016). - Sydney Olympic Park as a strategic economic center in the future urban development in Sydney Region. - Sydney Olympic Park was expected to undergo unparalleled urban transformation, with population increases of up to 500% (online data from City of Parramatta).

SOP Urban Temperature Analysis
The urban temperature will increase up to 1.50C due to land-use changes of Sydney Olympic Park. Land-use Changes: From industry areas change to high density commericial and residential areas.
