Toxic City? Symposium
This day of discussion will explore how we can make Melbourne more resilient for the future.
Overview
Join some of the brightest minds in science, design and architecture as they tackle arguably the most important question facing humanity today. As the global population creeps towards nine billion and global temperatures reach a tipping point, cleaner, more resilient cities could hold the key to our salvation. But only if we're willing to build them that way.
This high energy symposium, co-presented by Melbourne Design Week and The New York Times, will be chaired by Craig Reucassel of The Chaser and War on Waste, and will feature Breathe Architecture director Bonnie Herring, Finding Infinity founder Ross Harding, University of Newcastle professor Sue Anne Ware, and environmental activist Joost Bakker. It will also include an interactive keynote address by Dutch artist and innovator Daan Roosegaarde about the social role of art and design.
