How would you design the city of the future?

An Australian city of the future would integrate sustainability, livability, and smart technology through strategies like designing walkable neighbourhoods, investing in mass public transport, incorporating green infrastructure for climate resilience, and creating human-centred public spaces, all while fostering local economies and an equitable distribution of resources. The design would need to be context-specific, adapting to Australia’s varied climates, and prioritize collaboration between governments, research institutions, and the community to create resilient and prosperous future cities.
