13.01.2022 Tomorrow (Sat, 4 July) from 3-5pm, a (free) conversation on what you want to see for the future of Melbourne and beyond. There'll be 3 topics with guest speakers: 1. How might we support changing urban land use, infrastructure and space needs? 2. How might we understand the implications of systems change and what it might mean for governments and democracy? 3. How might we maintain and develop a focus on community cohesion, mental health and identity?... To register and check out the speakers, click on the link below. Spoiler alert: permaculture may come up in conversation with Thea Snow (from the Centre for Public Impact, Australia and New Zealand), who wrote a piece on Embracing complexity in government - a story about gardening and thinking in systems. https://participate.melbourne.vic.gov.au/city/city-future-1
