‘Cities of the Future’ workshop held at Ozwater‘10 in Brisbane, March 2010

In March 2010, the Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) and Melbourne Water co-hosted a Cities of the Future workshop at the Ozwater 2010 conference to enable over 150 water and non-water sector professionals to determine the challenges and opportunities for the water sector in planning for the future sustainability of Australia’s cities.

The workshop was facilitated by EcoSTEPS Julian Crawford with Howard Nielsen and established 12 guiding principles for developing Cities of the Future that are more water sensitive and that meet the needs of a water literate community. The water industry has the potential to drive the delivery of this vision through application of these 12 principles. This will ensure that future urban planning will put in practice concepts that are both sustainable and liveable.
