    At this City Forum, delivered in partnership between ULI Australia, UNStudio and Beulah, Ben van Berkel will present a Keynote Presentation with insights from a range of projects in which UN Studio's integral system approach has led to multiple solutions. He will sketch possible scenarios for the development of healthy and sustainable environments that have a lasting impact for the people and our planet.

    Ben’s presentation will be followed by a moderated panel discussion considering how this approach may best be applied in our local context.

    UNStudio’s mission is to design for lasting impact and contribute to the societal challenges of urbanisation, climate change, ageing populations and socioeconomic inequality, delivering designs that make our lives healthier, have little impact on the planet, but a lasting impact on our cities - and their people.
