Access
Accessible bathroom, Low sensory / relaxed, Seating available, Wheelchair accessibleCities are transforming to make way for communities that invite medium density housing and new life. From daily frictions like roadworks to the vital question of housing accessibility, urban renewal holds as much promise as it does contention, leaving no-one unaffected by its evolution.
Join Assemble Papers to mark the launch of editorial series Radical Renewal, with a discussion bringing leading voices in housing, urban politics, and placemaking. We will discuss: How can we reconcile preservation and gentrification in city shaping? How can we produce much-needed housing alternatives and cultivate a sense of belonging for both new and enduring communities?
Hear Carolyn Viney from Super Housing Partnerships, Jocelyn Chiew from the City of Melbourne, Hannah Harvey from Housing Choices Australia, Nemesia Kennett from Gill Family Corp, and Ingrid langtry from Assemble discuss new and global perspectives on how we can redesign more equitable, inclusive cities.
Doors open from 6:00 pm with light refreshments and an editorial hand-out for attendees
