Episode 9

Dr Andi Horvarth meets Dr Seona Candy – an academic at Architecture, Building and Planning at the University of Melbourne, and an expert in the importance of urban green areas.

Dr Candy says our focus on building resilient, sustainable ecocities of the future must focus on its socio, ecological, technological systems; because a city is not just about its infrastructure or its technology, it’s about its people.
