The Festival of Urbanism: City Limits
In this environment, the festival examines what opportunities are there for better approaches to city building that might address some of these issues. A particular theme of the Festival will be the potential for new technology to provide a solution to some of these difficult problems and to address the question of what really makes a smart city.
Now in its third year, the festival provides a vital platform for discussion, reflection and comment and exposes the citizens of Sydney to a range of ideas from academics from the University of Sydney and elsewhere.
