This ISCCC Forum titled ‘BETTER RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT – Building & Landscape Design For Climatic & Social Resilience’ will be held at 7pm on 28 May 2024 at the Eastlake Football Club, 3 Oxley Street, Griffith.
We will hear about efforts to deal with ‘urban intensification’ in Sydney while seeking to restore community trust in planning and achieve better places responding to climate change and technological advances.
We will then have a discussion led by three very experienced architectural, landscape and town planning professionals with examples of past, recent and proposed Canberra projects, and a Q&A session chaired by ISCCC Chair Colin Walters.
