Symposium
Better Housing Now: Session 3 - Circling the Square
Host: Sydney Architecture Festival
The third session is being hosted by the Sydney Architecture Festival and aims to propose ideas, solutions and propositions that might address some of the problems with expensive housing that are identified in the first two sessions. What can we learn from elsewhere? What new ideas are on the horizon that might change the city and how we live in it?
