Architects for Peace brings you:

Public forum: Melbourne's Urban Growth... Boundary?

Thursday 9 September 2010, 7pm
RMIT bldg 50, Orr St (off Victoria St), Carlton

The topic of discussion stems from the recent Victoria's Parliament decision in expanding Melbourne by
another 43,600 ha. In this discussion we hope to raise and answer some important questions about our future.

Is this really the answer to housing affordability?
How does this measure impact on social and ecological sustainability?
What does this mean for Melbourne?

Join Architects for Peace as they explore this topic with a number of leading experts:
PAUL MEES: Lecturer at RMIT Global Studies, Science & Social Planning focusing on transportation.
STUART WORN: Executive officer of Planning Institute of Australia
IAN WOOD: President of Save our Suburbs
TONY DE DOMENICO: Executive Director of Urban Development Institute of Australia
CAROLYN WHITZMAN: Associate Professor in Urban Planning, University of Melbourne
MAREE MCPHERSON: CEO of Victorian Local Governance Association
DIANNE MOY: Project Coordinator at Victorian Eco Innovation Lab
KATE SHAW: ARC Research Fellow, University of Melbourne.

The discussion will be chaired by IAN WOODCOCK, Research Fellow, University of Melbourne.
