Hear from Naomi Milgrom Foundation CEO Elaine Chia and Living Cities Forum Program Director Andrew Mackenzie as they sit down to unpack this year’s theme: Critical Mass. Reflecting on the pressures and possibilities of population growth, they ask what it takes to maintain liveability, justice, and biodiversity in cities undergoing rapid change.
Together, they introduce the ideas and provocations that will define this year’s Forum, where thinkers from across disciplines come together to ask: What kind of momentum do we want to build? And what does it mean to reach a critical mass? of people, of ideas, of change in the cities of tomorrow?
Together, they consider what it takes to foster meaningful change: how small, well-placed actions can shift the direction of a city, and why bringing together different disciplines and voices remains vital in the face of complex urban challenges.
