  We may be reticent to admit it when we’re calorie starved and comfortable at home at the end of a long day, but app-based ordering and the private consumption of restaurant food are of course playing a part in eroding familiar social exchanges and opportunities for an enriching experience of the city.

  Pyrmont in inner Sydney has a long and storied history. It flourished in the 1800s with sandstone quarries, shipbuilding, refineries and foundries, and in the late 1880s, the construction of woolstores reflected the growth of the pastoral trade.
