The 7th Making Cities Liveable Conference will examine the challenges, opportunities, trends and issues currently facing sector professionals. Delegates and presenters will examine how to plan for Healthy Cities, Sustainable Cities and Resilient Cities.
Join us at Mantra on Salt Beach, Kingscliff on the NSW and QLD border on the 10th – 11th July 2014. The conference will be a platform for government, academic and private sector practitioners. It will consider the “liveability” of our cities and towns in the future and the changes required to public policy to build the communities of tomorrow.
Presentations will facilitate discussion on the challenges and opportunities facing Australia. How will these suggested outcomes affect the way we live and work?
The built environment influences how people relate to each other, the opportunity for community to form, and the depth of our social networks. It regulates how much incidental exercise is possible through walking and biking. Buildings and streets contribute to reducing crime when buildings support eyes on the street, and shops and services put a functioning community in control of the public realm.
