What makes a safe, sustainable, liveable, global city?
In south-east Queensland, as we rebuild after flood devastation, and with the Olympic and Paralympic Games on the horizon, we may have a once-in-a-generation chance to reimagine and transform our cities.
To achieve this, we first need to understand the forces that shape our urban landscapes, and how to harness them for positive change.
Our Frontier Forum panellists – a globally recognised city planner, an expert in public transport engineering, and an award-winning architect – will consider international role models and local challenges as they debate how to build better cities.
