This Public Lecture includes talks by some of Australia's leading urban planning scholars. It covers themes such as:

  • What the people of Sydney know about urban planning and their motivations for being involved in the planning of their city
  • The new relationships between the public and private sectors, and local community groups
  • The re-emergence of urban planning 'social movements' and community action groups
  • The tensions between 'government-driven' and 'community-driven' participation in urban planning;
  • The questions these developments raise about democracy, social action and urban theory. 

The short presentations will be followed by a Q& A session with the presenters.
