Here, we had the blossoming of the suburbs and the city centres became decayed and full of vice, but are now gentrified and it is now modern thinking that it would be good to work and live in the same place. My sister and her husband did that and their school and preschool were close, too. They seemed more unhappy out in the suburbs, where her husband had to do a long walk to the station and then a long ride to work and do the same in reverse in the afternoon/night. But they had to move because their little flat became too small with the arrival of their second child!
I was leary of those 'lots of corners', too, though. Too many little spaces where people could be unsafe.
I'm also glad that some older buildings were preserved. Sounds like The Rocks near the Harbour Bridge and some of the Terrace Houses preserved in other inner suburbs.
