Transformation of Central Melbourne—Summer Fun(draisers)
+ Add to ItineraryDescription
Join us on a walking tour led by Rob Adams AM, ex-City Designer for the City of Melbourne, covering the key initiatives that have seen central Melbourne's transformation since the 1980s to one of the world's most liveable and sustainable cities.
The tour will illustrate the incremental changes and projects that have allowed the city to deliver the five key ingredients of a good city: density, mixed use, connectivity, high quality public realm and local character.
Brought to you with the generous support of our friends and partners, our Summer Fun(draisers) offer new and special opportunities as well as returning crowd favourites. These intimate, limited capacity talks + tours will take you up close and behind-the-scenes with design experts, all the while making a valued contribution to Open House Melbourne.
