Have you ever wondered how suburbs are designed? What makes that suburb a community? And the role that urban designers play in moulding modern Australia? Lucinda Hartley Co-Founder of Neighbourlytics.com, discusses these complex questions with our hosts. Lucinda and her co-founder Jessica Christian-Franks have led the global conversation on urban innovation, holding positions with global bodies the UN and the World Bank.

Here’s what we covered:

What can people do to move into areas that suit their lifestyle?
What data does Neighbourlytics utilise data to map social trends in suburbs?
The correlation between a suburb's liveability and wellbeing?
How should cities be built and organised?
Where have we gone wrong in the creation of new builds and suburbs?
How do new suburbs and towns on the fringes develop?
What drives people to move out to these fringe communities?
How will Covid change the social dynamics of cities?
What can we learn from alternative community models from around the world?
