Great comment about the need for an appetite for change. We’ll look back at COVID as the catalyst we needed to build back better.

Great cities are great "walking" cities.

Sorry but i have to leave now. Hope to keep connected to the progress of this initiative.

Thank you for attending Peter!

Beyond international students and commercialising research it would be great to see unis take an active role in place making. As major tenants and meeting places for people to come together, what do universities want/need from the city to make it a more liveable and innovative place?

70% of South Korean 25-34 year olds have a tertiary education. Australia is just 55%. Higher education is an investment we need to make if we want to keep up with our competitors.

Education that leads to jobs generally is just as important. Many of the TAFE and Tertiary courses are just a stop gap and don't lead to real jobs.

I’d love to hear the voice of the next generation. Excuse my ignorance but is there a CfM “sub group” or committee that taps into the innovation, risk taking and creativity of our young people/emerging leaders?

That's a great shout out Joel, having greater representation in that space helps shape change

Agree Joel - great idea for each committee to have this

Beyond students, immigration generally is our lifeblood. Population growth generally underpins better infrastructure, economic growth and cultural vibrancy.
