Cities find it extremely difficult to accommodate extreme growth.
Obstacles are mounting but solutions are not forthcoming.
Shrinking budgets
Aging infrastructure
Diminishing environmental resource
Rising economic inequity
Shifting demographics and labor markets
City leaders are now willing to put their political capital behind these issues.
Governments see upgrading transportation systems as a quick pathway to drive business activities, citizen inclusion and sustainability
Economic development is one of the main drivers for government to achieve more productive, responsive and livable cities.
Governments are becoming more deeply committed to providing access to jobs as a way to improve standards of living and improve the day to day affordability of living in cities.

4. No one party alone can solve all of Sydney’s challenges.
August 8, 2017
Cities, corporations, and institutions must come together
to create the future.

5. Transformation will require a fundamental change in the way city leaders and solution providers work together.

Works with all sectors of Sydney society to co-create solutions that benefit all people and businesses.
Measures the success of each solution to determine if its feasible in other regional Australian cities.
Helps fund the projects and views them as an investment in Sydney’s future as a productive, responsive and livable city.
