Our everyday lives are touched by the places that surround us. The qualities of these places – our buildings, streets and parks – informs our interactions, understandings, wellbeing and memories. A review of research exploring healthcare, education, workplaces, housing, justice, urban design and transport projects demonstrates that good design enables people, places and the environment to thrive.
The Case for Good Design
Support from the City of Melbourne
Good design is integral to the attractiveness, liveability and prosperity of Melbourne…The community has a strong role to play as the primary users and custodians of the urban realm. Cities with a strong design culture are underpinned by an engaged and demanding public with high expectations for design quality. Through design education and engagement there is significant opportunity to further empower the community as vocal advocates.
