Labor welcomes Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute’s (AHURI) National Cities Program Strategic Agenda, and looks forward to engaging with it.
Better functioning and more resilient cities will be critical to our recovery.
AHURI say:
“It is time for a platform to support coordinated, policy-focused Australian research into cities and urban issues.”
We agree.
It’s time for a platform for research, and it’s time for a commitment to act on that research.
The pandemic has changed our cities. In a nation as urbanised as Australia, we need to understand this, and what it will mean for a future in which no one is left behind.
