Do We Need a More Intelligent Approach to Infrastructure Planning in Australia?
The future prospects for most Australians is bound up with the ways our cities work, and this depends to a great extent on the infrastructure systems on which they depend. At all scales of government we tend to approach infrastructure planning in ways that do not always lead to the best possible outcomes, including in terms of cost efficiency, effectiveness and long-term sustainability. Does it have to be this way? And if not, can we imagine new approaches that maximise the chance of better outcomes?

Unlocking the Latent Potential in Our Major Health Precincts: An Urban Design Approach to Positioning, Partnering and Place-making
Our major health precincts are maturing and are no longer separated from our city fabric. They are becoming more integrated, more urbane and less institutional in nature. Their role as major contributors to our city and national economic competiveness is crucial, and across the country they are magnets for government, private and philanthropic investment.
The emerging health model encourages the creation of knowledge clusters organised around collaboration between universities, research institutions and tertiary services. To be viable they must establish the right conditions to attract and retain the best clinicians, researchers, educators and students.
Complex influences and drivers are shaping these precincts and an urban design approach can help re-integrate these precincts them back into our cities and establish the right conditions for positioning and partnerships between the public and private sectors.
