#3 - Urban Sprawl

Taken from the Queensland Government's Greenspace Strategy http://www.dsdip.qld.gov.au/resources/plan/greenspace-strategy-2011.pdf, the following images and graph paint a very poignant picture about the current state of our greenspaces and their relationship to the built environment. As shocking as a I found the first of these images to be, when coupled with the following graph and images, it becomes apparent as to why there is so little greenspace left in South East Queensland. These four images are reason enough to implement strategies now in order to preserve what South East Queensland is best known for.
