Public forum, City in Crisis?
Alastair TaylorAugust 3, 2014
The Inner Melbourne Planning Alliance (IMPA) presented a public forum titled "City in Crisis?" earlier this evening.
A free event, it was held at the Deakin Edge theatre at Federation Square from 6pm until 7:30pm, consisting of a panel of speakers and a Q&A session.
The questions of concern
- What mechanisms will be in place to ensure the design quality and diversity of new residential developments and the associated public spaces that are critical to their success?
- To what extent will the proposed plans provide the amenities needed to service high density communities of the future, including schools and hospitals, public transport or jobs for a future smart economy?
The panelists
- Geoffrey London
- Victorian State Government architect
- Leanne Hodyl
- Melbourne City Council
- Robert Larocca
- RP Data
- Monique Sasson
- Independent Property Analyst
- Ashley Williams
- Evolve Development
Speaker presentations and audience and panel Q&A were moderated by Peter Mares.
