Australia’s flagship event for urban designers, thinkers and placemakers.
Designing for cities in flux and shifting populations.
Borrowed from nuclear physics, Critical Mass refers to the minimum needed to trigger a self-sustaining chain reaction. Drawing on global perspectives from leading international keynote speakers, this year’s Forum explores the tipping points where cities either thrive or fracture and how small deliberate shifts can spark big impacts amid rapid urban change.
We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work.
We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, value their knowledge and connection to Country, and continue to learn from the oldest living culture in the world.
