Each year the Lab will focus on a pressing topic for investigation, applying a multidisciplinary lens to generate pathways to new solutions through the application of design principles.
The topic for the inaugural Living Cities Landscape Lab is Inundation, and will focus on the challenges presented by flooding. The inaugural Living Cities Landscape Lab will bring together experts in the fields of planning, hydrology, urban resilience, landscape architecture, ecology, engineering and infrastructure development, for an intensive workshop on how design thinking can be applied to our flood strategies. The program will be staged over five months around two core collaborative multi-disciplinary activities, with a range of public events occurring throughout.
