THOUSANDS of jobs and homes could be created in Sydney by taking down the "Berlin Wall" that divides the inner city, and implementing a proposal inspired by New York and Paris.

The initiative, announced by the NSW government on Friday, would develop a large "dead space" in inner Sydney and renew the railway line corridor between Central Station and Eveleigh.

The three kilometre area - from Sydney CBD to Macdonaldtown train station - is made up largely of rail lines, large open park areas and the Australian Technology Park.

Planning Minister Brad Hazzard says the separated space fails to connect a vital part of Sydney.

"What we have is an opportunity for that greater connectedness between the Redfern community side of the railway line and the Surry Hills side," Mr Hazzard told reporters on Friday.

He described the current infrastructure in the area as the "Berlin Wall" of Sydney.

The proposal would provide thousands of jobs and homes while retaining and enhancing key heritage buildings, such as Central Station and Mortuary Station, based on other successful international revamps, he said.

"Similar models have been successfully implemented in New York, Paris and London," he said.

About one million square metres of space had been identified that could provide employment opportunities, retail, housing and more open space, while not disrupting rail services.

International businesses are being called on to come to Sydney and present their ideas on how the vision could come to fruition.

The plan takes into account the Draft Metropolitan Strategy for Sydney to 2031, released in March, that highlights the need for 114,000 news jobs and tens of thousands of new homes in Sydney.

The time frame for development is 15-20 years.
