Open House Melbourne - Collective Cities Panel

The theme that the Open House Melbourne July Weekend 2023 will explore is Collective City.

Collective City asks a simple yet challenging question... 

As Melbourne expands to reach a projected population of 8 million by 2050: How will we reinvent, re-purpose and adapt our city to live better together?

*****

In the urban context, being connected has never been better in the digital age. Many citizens have access to reliable internet providing access to data and information and new modes of meeting; we enjoy the convenience of food delivery, support services and entertainment via subscription models; and increased flexibility in the workplace via co- share spaces, online platforms and distributed modes of working and learning. Critically, we are witnessing a movement that explores new modes of living together beyond the focus of the single-family suburban house, and a long overdue political investment in public housing that is so urgently needed to address the housing crisis and affordability.

The event will be held in Stomping Ground's Boiler Hall @ Morris Moor, Moorabbin.
