Event: CityShapers of Melbourne - A Discussion with Neometro, Kalex, Milieu & Assemble

M

 A new wave of design-led residential development is sweeping through Australian property. Social, sustainable, and community-focused outcomes are driving the next generation and shifting the agenda.

 
Where should the industry place its focus in light of society’s evolving priorities?


How can we create sustainable and enduring developments that add to the social fabric of the communities we are engaged in?

 Join us on Thursday 28th April for an insightful night of discussion as four of the industry’s most highly regarded innovators converge to debate the future of place making in Australia.

Rapid-fire presentations, an interactive panel, and an open bar will ensure the conversation continues before, during, and after the event.

Presented by The Urban Developer and Communications Collective, this is a must for industry professionals and all those engaged in the way our communities are shaped.
