About the Festival of Urbanism 5
Reciprocal discussions in Sydney and Melbourne with researchers, industry professionals and community leaders who are challenging practice to maximise the public interest.
This discussion takes place on the traditional lands of the Gadigal peoples of the Eora Nations and the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nations. We pay our respects to the land, ancestors and elders both past, present and emerging.
