WATERLOO
In 2017, Waterloo, NSW, was a rapidly evolving inner-city suburb of Sydney, known for its mix of public housing estates, emerging gentrification, and urban renewal projects. Located just 3 kilometers south of the CBD, it attracted a diverse population, including young professionals, students, and long-term residents. The suburb was undergoing significant transformation, with plans for large-scale redevelopment under the NSW Government's *Waterloo Estate Redevelopment*, which aimed to replace aging public housing with mixed-use, high-density developments. Despite its industrial past, Waterloo in 2017 was becoming a hub for trendy cafes, creative spaces, and proximity to major transport links, while also facing concerns about housing affordability and displacement of vulnerable communities.
