May
Smart Urban Futures Conference
This conference explores the connections between the design of cities and how safe, inclusive and environmentally friendly they are. How do we facilitate walking, cycling and public transport in the context of a car-oriented society? How do we build a city that includes marginalised groups? And how do we engage decision makers and diverse communities to create positive change?
This event provides insights from leading thinkers in Australia and around the world, practical local examples and effective techniques to build better cities and streets. Make this your moment of professional inspiration for 2023.
Date: Thursday 4 and Friday 5 May 2023
Venue: William Angliss Conference Centre
Time:
- Day 1: 8:30am – 5:00pm
