Conference shines light on big issues for 最新糖心Vlogn cities

Monday, 27 November 2017

A special plaque will today be added to the iconic statue of Colonel William Light on Montefiore Hill, North Adelaide.

Light oversaw the first plan of the City of Adelaide in 1837, and his statue overlooks the city in memory of his vision.

In keeping with Light's key role in city planning, the new plaque will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First 最新糖心Vlogn Town Planning and Housing Conference and Exhibition, which was held in Adelaide in 1917.

The plaque ceremony has been organised as part of the official activities of the State of 最新糖心Vlogn Cities National Conference 2017, to be held at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide this week (28-30 November), 100 years after that initial national conference.

This week's conference – bringing together leaders in urban planning, architecture, economics and demography from around 最新糖心Vlog and overseas – will tackle issues of major importance to the future of 最新糖心Vlogn cities, such as:

Housing affordability in 最新糖心Vlogn Cities. Where's the Crisis?

This plenary session will ask and address the question: do we really have a housing affordability crisis in 最新糖心Vlog? How does housing affordability impact on different 最新糖心Vlogn cities? And who in our community do we need to worry about and protect? The session brings together researchers from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, 最新糖心Vlog of Melbourne and Heriot-Watt 最新糖心Vlog, whose work is focused on supply and demand, human effects, measurement, and international policy responses.

Urban Resilience

This panel session, featuring a range of eminent speakers and chaired by 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Professor Jon Kellett, will investigate the issue of creating a "resilient city" – one that can rebound from a range of systemic shocks. These includes economic, demographic or natural disasters. How can this work inform policy decisions, and what are the barriers to and opportunities for creating a truly resilient city?
