How does it change in a sentence?

Sydney is a neuter noun.

While Sydney is a neuter noun, German speakers often use it as a feminine noun when they are mentally substituting it for the word Stadt meaning 'city'.
If a German speaker adds an article to Sydney, such as das Sydney, they are usually describing a specific era or atmosphere, like das Sydney der 80er Jahre.
When writing about 'Sydney' in a German text, you might see it paired with the word 'Stadt', as in 'die Stadt Sydney', which turns the noun's gender to feminine.
