How can the cities we inhabit for work, home and play regenerate us and improve population wellbeing?
Join keynote speaker Distinguished Professor Billie Giles-Corti of the Healthy Liveable Cities Research Group at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology’s Centre for Urban Research and a guest panel to explore how design and technology can enhance our urban environments.
For more than two decades, Billie and a multi-disciplinary research team have been studying the impact of the built environment on health and wellbeing and she is ranked in the top one per cent of researchers in her field around the world. She leads a National Health and Medical Research Council Centre of Research Excellence in Healthy Liveable Communities which works closely with local, national and global policy-makers and practitioners.
The panel discussion will feature Gabrielle Kelly, founding director of the Wellbeing and Resilience Centre of South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute; Karina Lester of the University of Adelaide’s Mobile Language Team, and architect Richard Stranger of Renewal SA. Members of the audience will have a chance to ask questions of the speakers.
