Made in Australia: The Future of Australian Cities

How do you creatively plan for a population of 62 million by 2100? Australia’s current major city planning frameworks only account for an extra 5.5 million people.

Richard Weller and Julian Bolleter (Australian Urban Design Research Centre at the University of Western Australia) offer optimistic and creative solutions for the future with one imperative: what we build this century will make or break our country.
