Forum Highlights

Australia’s population is expected to grow to at least 35 million by 2050 and two third of the population are concentrated and living in the metropolitan areas. The need for better infrastructures, transports and cities that are intelligent are of utmost priority to ensure and sustain the quality of living of all Australians. The Hon. Malcolm Turnbull’s visionary Smart Cities Plan details the development plans to shape the future cities by leveraging on disruptive technologies and infrastructures to create the cities of the future.
