Re-Urbanise

Book Now

With our current housing and environmental challenges how can we design our cities to be sustainable, healthy and affordable places to live?

In the next 20 years, Geelong’s population is forecast to grow by 37%, mostly on the urban fringe. But is this the best way for our city to develop? Re-Urbanise examines urbanism and urban design, exploring possibilities around densification, human-centered design, “missing middle” housing, sustainability, governance, and quality of living. Students will prototype an urban redevelopment and take ownership of the urbanised world they will inherit.
