When: Thursday 9 May 2024 Time: 4:30pm - 6:30pm Where: The Edge, Federation Square Address: Swanston & Flinders Street, Melbourne VIC 3000 Get a front row seat to a lineup of key influential speakers in this dynamic panel event COVID-19 shifted our relationship with private and public spaces in ways it seems improbable we’ll ever return from. As our environments of work and home profoundly changed through lockdowns, value was shown where it had previously been overlooked, and new possibilities for how we occupied our physical environments emerged – sometimes radically. Alongside these rapid adaptations, climate impacts and significant rises in living costs have been exerting their own influence on the patterns of our daily urban life. What’s this now mean for our disrupted city centres? What economic, social, and cultural rhythms do we want to see develop in the future? In the aftermath of the pandemic, what lessons and values about the importance of the CBD as a key hub now guide us? Just what is the future of the Australian CBD? Join leading figures from across government, the arts, business and the built environment in a dynamic panel discussion at the Edge in Federation Square. Speaker Panel • Nicholas Reece – Deputy Lord Mayor, City of Melbourne • Philip Oldfield – Head of School, Built Environment, Faculty of Arts, Design and Architecture, University of New South Wales • Kellie Payne – Director, Workplace Strategy Team, Bates Smart • Katrina Sedgwick - Director & CEO at Melbourne Arts Precinct Corporation • Mark Tait - Group Executive & Head of Development, Investa (event chair)
