As Melbourne prepares to become Australia’s largest city, The Age presents the inaugural Melbourne Assembly – a milestone three-day public forum bringing together industry leaders, key decision makers, and the community to shape our urban future.
Held at The Edge, Fed Square, from October 19-21, the event is headlined by two internationally renowned urban visionaries: 15-Minute City creator Professor Carlos Moreno and former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Across three days of keynotes, panel discussions and audience Q&As, speakers will confront the friction between rapid growth and liveability across four critical pillars: Shaping the City, Innovation and Education, Healthy Places and People, and Sport and the Arts.
