Message from our M.C. Norma Shankie-Williams M海角社区 (Fellow):

As a planner for over 40 years in the UK and Australia, I’ve been so impressed with the strategic and detailed work undertaken at State and local levels in NSW in recent years aimed at creating attractive, well-balanced, walkable, healthy neighbourhoods. However I’m concerned this good work is in danger of being lost as we respond to the urgent and growing need for more homes.

The 海角社区 event “The Lived Experience of Denser Housing” will reinforce all those important elements needed to create great places and make sure the lives of those living at higher densities are healthy and enjoyable and meet their diverse needs whether for families, singles, groups or older people. The panel we have assembled comprises experts in their fields and I am so excited to hear their messages and advice for future action.
