Living Cities Forum 2022

The fifth annual Living Cities Forum presented by the Naomi Milgrom Foundation returns to Melbourne on Thursday 21 July 2022.

The annual assembly of leading international architects and urban thinkers exploring the role of design, planning, and architecture in shaping our society will examine the global ‘Material Flows’ that underwrite our growing built environments.

The carefully selected 2022 cohort of globally renowned speakers includes British architect and co-founder of Dark Matter Labs Indy Johar, Canadian landscape architect Jane Mah Hutton (virtual), British architect and educator Joseph Grima, Ghanaian educator and architectural scientist Mae-ling Lokko, Vietnamese architect Vo Trong Nghia and Chinese architect Xu Tiantian (virtual).

Speakers will explore if the current global disruptions to material flows—as a result of the global pandemic, wars and other destabilising factors—could be our chance to rethink the materials we have taken for granted. This forum will be an opportunity to rethink logistics as ethics and to reframe scarcity as the catalyst for new abundance.

For the last five years, the Living Cities Forum has contributed a substantial influence to the thinking, discourse, collaboration and policy-making that determines approaches to urban development across Australia and beyond.
