Submission—Draft National Urban Policy
On 11 July 2024, the Australian Academy of Science, Future Earth Australia, and the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia made a joint submission to the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts, on the Draft National Urban Policy.
The submission recommends the development of a national research, innovation, and knowledge framework to build urban capacity towards sustainable development. It draws from two recent publications, ‘Australian Urban Policy: Prospects and Pathways’ supported by the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia, and ‘Sustainable cities and regions: 10-year strategy to enable urban systems transformation’ by Future Earth Australia.
