2040 City – Future Visions Forum

This free public forum will bring together leading designers and thinkers to explore the future of the city, presenting a series of compelling and confronting ‘visions’ as provocations or considerations.

What will shape and define the nature and livability of the future city? What are the pressures and circumstances – imminent or distant – that will shape the social fabric of the city in 2040 and the subsequent spatial, physical and ecological realm that 2040 citizens will occupy?

2040 City is a rapid fast paced exploration into emerging opportunities, technologies and necessities.

Speakers include Prof. Tom Kovac RMIT, Prof. Lyndon Anderson Swinburne NID, Michael Trudgeon CROWD Productions.
