Our cities—the CBDs, the suburbs and our regional centres—are where over 75% of us live. To succeed in the 21st Century economy our cities need to be productive and accessible, but they also need to be liveable with a clear focus on serving their citizens.

For cities to move forward, they need attract, retain and nurture creative talent and organisations, who will help their cities, innovate, create jobs and grow.

While the opportunities have never been greater, congestion, poor access to jobs and services, reduced housing affordability and increasing pollution can challenge the quality of life they offer.
