“I have attended every Future of Suburbia event since the series began. Over the years, its commitment to creating better suburbs has remained consistent, relevant and impactful."
MORE LEADERS AND LEGENDS: The Future of Suburbia VII
Description
Now in it’s SEVENTH year, the event will once again bring together a carefully selected group of influential leaders for our highly regarded LEADERS & LEGENDS program.
Last year’s delegates particularly valued what sets this event apart: no corporate presentations, no rehearsed talking points and no superficial commentary – just candid, consequential conversations between people with the experience and authority to speak frankly about the future of our suburbs and cities.
We'll explore the delivery of development, policy, infrastructure and investment across centres, precincts and regions. We want to examine what it really takes to turn ambition into reality – the difficult decisions, lessons learned and obstacles overcome, as well as the projects and policies that have materially changed communities for the better.
Our belief is simple: better suburbs equals better cities. This event asks what “better” could look like and – importantly – how we can deliver it.
The focus is once again on industry leaders and legends who speak honestly about the opportunities and challenges of development in the suburbs and regions.
