Until 26 Feb

Melbourne, Geelong, Traralgon, Ballarat, Sydney

Australia’s Sustainable Living Festival invites you to meet Jason Roberts and Andrew Howard, co-founders of America’s Better Block - a community led program igniting rapid urban revitalisation projects in cities across the United States.

Find out about the meteoric rise of Better Block from a one-day neighbourhood improvement project in downtown Dallas to an international movement involving over forty cities and three nations in just two years.

Hear from Jason and Andrew as they reveal the universal ingredients to staging a successful Better Block project and the potential, long-term benefits these temporary neighbourhood transformations can generate.

Take part in this special series of free forums designed for urban designers, planners, architects, government officials, sustainability educators, community change agents and anyone interested in creating a Better Block!
