Towards creating a vibrant, connected and resilient city

“Idealcitiesareverymuchtheproductoftheirownages.Andyettobesuccessful,
a city has to be open to continuous development, free to evolve and grow
with the demands of new times. Like science fiction accounts of the future,
ideal cities quickly become outmoded.”
- P.D. Smith
WHY YOU CANNOT MISS THIS EVENT
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australia’s population
growth in recent years has been the fastest among developed nations. Both
Sydney and Melbourne are projected to be home to almost 8 million people
by 2050. The biggest cities, on current projections, will increase their overall
share of the national population; Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth
will be nearing a 50% increase over the next 20 years and strategic developments
are needed to make room for them.
Urban renewal is an essential strategy for accommodating urban growth in
major cities. This occurs through revitalising unused and underutilised
spaces and turning them into places that encourages living, working and
enjoyment. Cities and towns are competing with each other to provide the
best lifestyles in order to attract residents, visitors and businesses to create
truly resilient cities. Those that are not adapting to the population’s growing
appetite are facing a grey future.
Join 2nd Annual Urban Renewal Australia by Trueventus, the ideal
platform to exploring different ways to support the evolving needs of
Australia’s growing and emerging communities. Welcoming experts from
government officials, policy makers, local councils, urban planners, developers,
investors and community representatives, the conference will delve deeper
into the countless opportunities for growth and overcoming challenges in
urban renewal projects through a series of exclusive case studies!
