Melbourne 2050: what kind of city are we building?
In this final episode of the pilot season of Future Melbourne, we sit down with Lord Mayor of Melbourne Nick Reece to explore the big question at the heart of this series: what should Melbourne become by 2050?
Following the City of Melbourne’s 2050 Summit and the release of its long-term vision, Liveable Melbourne, growing stronger together, this conversation looks beyond aspiration and into the practical choices that will shape the city’s next generation.
We revisit the key themes explored throughout the season, from housing, homelessness and city safety to the future of the CBD economy, international students, Docklands, Fishermans Bend, Arden-Macaulay, Lygon Street, Queen Victoria Market, and the Yarra River/Birrarung.
Lord Mayor Nick Reece reflects on Melbourne’s post-COVID recovery, the challenges of growth, the role of council leadership, and how the city can remain liveable, creative, safe, inclusive and globally competitive in the decades ahead.
This is a conversation about ambition, delivery and the hundreds of decisions, big and small, that will determine the future of Melbourne.
