Delivering more high-quality, well-located homes is a national priority. Regeneration of underused inner-urban sites within Australian cities is one of the core ways to do this, however, these projects often take a long time to deliver, if at all, and underdeliver in terms of public benefit. Come listen to an expert panel involved in the production of these neighbourhoods and learn from national and international case studies to develop an agenda for how we shift how we deliver new neighbourhoods in Australia. The event is part of a two-day trip where students from Monash University will visit completed urban regeneration projects in Sydney – Central Park, Quay Quarter and Green Square.
