Melbourne 2024
COMMON INTERESTS
Public space can act as a great leveller in contemporary cities. While buildings often divide us, even public ones, open civic space is where diverse and competing interests meet. With Melbourne and Sydney on track to become megacities by 2050, reimagining these spaces amid population growth, increased densities and a warming planet has never been more vital.
Join us for a day-long series of international keynotes and conversations in Melbourne at The Edge, Fed Square, spotlighting progressive ideas and solutions from across the globe exploring the theme of Common Interests and the complexities of collective space.
Tickets are inclusive of fees. Lunch and light refreshments will be served on the day. We have a limited number of Early Bird tickets on offer until booked out. Book now to save $55 off full-price tickets.
