This seminar is the culmination of our Collaborative Foresight cycle on Futures of Infrastructure, organised in collaboration with DigIT Hub.

A core group of 20 local innovators has been doing signal scanning, future scenario-building, meaning-making and creating roadmaps for getting from now to desirable futures.

We’re inviting three speakers to discuss how emerging techniques and processes will impact what, when, how we design, build and maintain traditional urban infrastructure and how the role and definition of infrastructure in society is changing.

Coffee from 8.30 am.
