Have you ever wondered how suburbs are designed? What makes that suburb a community? And the role that urban designers play in moulding modern Australia? Lucinda Hartley Co-Founder of Neighbourlytics.com, discusses these complex questions with our hosts. Lucinda and her co-founder Jessica Christian-Franks have led the global conversation on urban innovation, holding positions with global bodies the UN and the World Bank. 

Here’s what we covered:

• How do suburbs develop their own identity and community?
• What can people do to move into areas that suit their lifestyle?
• What data does Neighbourlytics utilise data to map social trends in suburbs?
• The correlation between a suburb's liveability and wellbeing?
• How should cities be built and organised?
• Where have we gone wrong in the creation of new builds and suburbs?
• How do new suburbs and towns on the fringes develop?
• What drives people to move out to these fringe communities?
• How will Covid change the social dynamics of cities?
• What can we learn from alternative community models from around the world?
