A panel discussion led by Griffith Cities Research Institute
The COVID-19 health and economic crises affect us not only as individuals but also in terms of the places where we live and work and for most of us, those places are cities. The cities where we live, work, shop, study and socialise are likely to be very different as we emerge from COVID lockdowns. How will our cities be different and how will urban life change in the near future? Will we spend more time working from home; will we expect our homes to be designed differently; will we travel around our cities differently? What will happen to the empty spaces that no longer house businesses?
Understanding these challenges but also imagining the new opportunities presented is essential if we are to plan for a prosperous and sustainable future.
Join us for a stimulating panel discussion that focuses on the Gold Coast but offers lessons for all cities as they emerge from lock-down.
