    2030

    The population of Grosvenor has been projected to reach at least 5.2 million inhabitants by 2030, and the CBD skyline will change drastically with new mixed-use highrise buildings. The City Council predicts that, by 2030, the ratio of single-dwelling and multi-dwelling properties in Grosvenor will increase to 60:40 from 90:10 because of rise in popularity of compact living (apartments, townhouses, units, block flats, semi-dwellings... etc).

    Obviously, new buildings won't be the only significant thing that changes Grosvenor in the future. The Federal Government of New Albana predicts that, in 2030, electric driverless cars will be widespread and commonplace because of their existing goal to change the law that restricts (and reduces) the use of manual cars by 2023 and eventually achieving a total ban of petrol for cars by 2028.

    Additionally, the City Council also aims to pass a new local ordinance that every single highrise buildings in the Central Business District must have both gardens and solar panels on the roof by 2020. This will pave the way for 100% of buildings (including houses) across the entire metropolitan region to have solar panels and roof gardens by 2030.

    The Federal Government also predicts that, despite the popularity of inner city living, Grosvenor will experience a significant decentralisation process sometime in the 2020s. All major suburban centres across Grosvenor such as Port Grosvenor, Bundoora, Richmond, Whitford, Morningside, Edge Hill, Shoreditch, Moseley and Scottsdale all will be transformed into satellite city centres of its own right. This means, by 2030, those satellite cities will have their own city centre comparable that of Grosvenor's CBD today.
