Designing the future street

What will Melbourne streets look like in the future?

Take part in an interactive workshop to explore how emerging trends might impact the city, and build shared visions for the future of Melbourne’s streets. This process of designing speculative futures for Melbourne’s streets will help you understand how to shape where you live today.

This event is a part of City of Melbourne's Melbourne Conversation series. For full details and ticketing, visit: https://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/arts-and-culture/events-partnerships/melbourne-conversations/Pages/design-22nd-century-street.aspx
