In 1900, Pyrmont was an important port and industrial area, with a population of almost 30 000 people. There was a wide range of industries and services present including wharves, dockyards, warehouses, abattoirs, wool stores, railway yards and even an incinerator for the disposal of Sydney’s waste. It was deemed a working-class suburb with a predominantly Irish/Catholic population. As the income for Pyrmont was only modest, semi-detached cottages were the most common type of housing present.

Urban renewal has changed the social structure of Pyrmont significantly. In the early 20th century, there was a major decline in Pyrmont’s population and economic activity because of the urban decay and decentralisation that occurred across Sydney. This saw a spreading of activities, specifically manufacturing and industrial activities from out of inner-city areas into Sydney’s outer suburbs. Urban renewal was the key factor in restoring Pyrmont’s population. Pyrmont changed massively through the urban dynamic of urban renewal. These changes included 33 hectares of open space for the public, a mix of innovative housing and a vast range of community facilities. Being close to the city, Pyrmont has attracted mainly young, wealthy couples or otherwise known as DINKS (Double Income No Kids). 62.7% of Pyrmont’s residents are aged between 25 and 54. This is an increase of 6% from 1991. The young wealthy couples that live in Pyrmont usually earn about 37% more than the average people living in metropolitan areas, with an average income of $905 per week (2006). Nowadays, Pyrmont’s social structure differs considerably with Pyrmont’s early 20th century social structure. This is a direct effect of the urban renewal that occurred throughout the suburb.

More so, the current status of these historical homes are primarily residential in the 21st century, which defines the relative importance of a historical housing that still exists in the city. Much like the real estate ambitions of Gilbert and Wells in 1702, it is still apparent that the Elfreths Alley Association provides a context in which these homes can be preserved as a National Historic Landmark for modern residents that currently own these homes: “[These owners] did own houses and invested their profits by purchasing or erecting houses to be rented by younger or less prosperous craftsmen and shopkeepers” (Moss & Crane, 1998, 28). In the 20th and 21st centuries, the evolution of this style of home purchasing was developed by the Elfreths Alley Association, which then allowed certain homes to be sold to qualified individuals that were willing to preserve the colonial and historical aspects of the area. These are important aspects of real estate dimension of home ownership in Elfreth's Alley, which makes it one of the more exclusive neighborhoods in a historic district of the city. Although some of the homes are privately owned, the city provides a great deal of financial and economic support to preserve this area for tourism on the dock

This park is an ideal setting, because the story is based on football, which is mostly played in a park like setting. Not only this, but the genre of the novel is realistic fiction, and parks are not only found in books, but in reality as well. Coppo Park is described as a large area with many people walking around and playing. I would consider visiting this place, because it is similar to parks in my town, which I always enjoy visiting.
