What makes cities liveable?

Over half of the world’s population lives in cities – a figure set to rise to 70 per cent by 2050. However, urbanisation is reducing the quality of life for many. Cities can lack accessibility, sustainability, and a sense of belonging. What is it that makes a city truly liveable? How do we create thriving, inclusive communities – now and into the future? Join us for a panel discussion on how cities can balance the social and environmental needs of citizens to create thriving communities. Experts will discuss what Melbourne – one of the world’s most liveable cities – can do better to improve accessibility and inclusivity and improve urban environments, and what we’ve been getting right to achieve our top 10 ranking.
