Modern Sydney is a world city by virtue of its global economic integration, corporate headquarters, and degree of global economic integration. It is Australia's largest receiver of immigrants, especially those from non‐English‐speaking backgrounds. It faces problems associated with change from a previously (pre‐mid‐1970s) manufacturing to a contemporary information and financial services base, and socially with its status as Australia's largest EthniCity. Attempts to control rapid post‐World War II growth have been largely unsuccessful, but, as Australia's now most expensive city, efforts aimed at residential consolidation and new approaches to provision of infrastructure are being developed to address the city's planning problems.
