Introducing The Future of Cities, the third instalment of Melbourne Connect’s The Future of series. Join us in this dynamic exploration to discover the transformative forces shaping future urban environments. With the global population expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, nearly 70% residing in cities, and many of these in third-world circumstances, what lies ahead for our urban landscapes?

Uncover sustainable solutions to the pressing challenges of urban living through cutting-edge insights and interdisciplinary research. Accommodating rapid population growth, energy shortages, environmental change, new technologies, and other unforeseen contingencies, it is important now to envision the cities of tomorrow. The Future of Cities offers a comprehensive perspective on the evolving metropolis.

In this event moderated by Jon Faine, renowned broadcaster and writer, join researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers in a fun and dynamic forward-thinking dialogue aimed at navigating the complexities of urbanisation. By examining historical trends and anticipating future challenges, they will provide valuable insights into how cities and urbanites can thrive amidst instability and change.
