Taking Back the City

Taking Back the City Past Event

Presented by Buchan


Taking back the city a forum in the round presented by Buchan

Are we creating cities where people want to be?

Imagine a city where every building opens to the surrounding streets and laneways, where we reconnect through activated ground planes, where we create urban spaces that engage our diverse communities.

Providing an inclusive view of the built environment, this forum brings together influential voices from across design, development, academia, and government, to discuss and debate the design principles necessary to transform our cities back into places where people can connect and thrive.
