Utzon Lecture Series 2014: Lecture Three with Jennifer Westacott



In this lecture, you will hear Ms Westacott make the case for an urgent new “cities agenda” that will equip Australia to respond to the massive forces of change already upon us, including digital disruption, demographic shifts and a vastly more competitive world.

Drawing on her experience in senior roles in the public and private sectors, Ms Westacott sets out a framework for shaping Australian cities that are globally competitive. Ensuring our cities remain among the world’s most liveable will be vital to our success.
