Imagine a community that is accessible, inclusive, sustainable, and gives everyone equal access opportunities based on what THEY want to achieve in life. That's the future of Smart Communities and Smart Regions that today's guest Zoe Eather has in mind.

Zoe is a Toowoomba based smart regions advocate, who prompts us to think about technology as an ENABLER (rather than the shiny end game!) and we discuss key smart city concepts like decentralisation, mobility with systems thinking.What aren't we talking enough about? What do we need to future proof our regions?

As a fellow untraditional engineer and millennial, in this episode our host Michelle brings out some tips and guidance for our young professional listeners to be change makers to build the places we live to be more accessible, liveable and sustainable for all.
