Sydney to get a brand new '30-minute city' with car-free streets: Here's what it will look like

'Australia's newest city' has set high expectations promising to be greener and more sustainable while promoting car-free streets and quick access to facilities.

Bradfield City is being built next to Western Sydney Airport at Badgerys Creek with the first buildings to be ready by the time the airport opens in 2026.

Planning documents state the entire aerotropolis will sit on more than 11,000 hectares and that it will be centred around pedestrian-only thoroughfares.

Bradfield City will be a 30-minute city meaning residents will be able to jump on public transport and access all CBD amenities from their home within half-an-hour.
