Streets and public spaces are the playgrounds of our communities
Join us for a unique and inspiring one-day Masterclass explaining the art and science of creating great streets and places with two of Australia’s leading place practitioners: Gilbert Rochecouste, Managing Director of Village Well, and Steven Burgess, Principal of MRCagney.
With a collective 50 years of experience in over 1000 cities and towns connecting people to places, Gilbert and Steven will share their insights into what makes a successful street and public space; a place people want to be. Taking guests through the evolution of streets within a Placemaking integration and urban design context while also addressing engineering and safety issues, this Masterclass will help to bring the community, professionals, and elected representatives together on issues surrounding street design.
