A successful city needs to work for people across a range of family groups, ages and cultures. This includes provision of recreational space, transport links, appropriate housing, education and health facilities. What makes this particularly challenging is that most development is designed with profit as the prime motivator rather than the wellbeing of residents. Also, what works for one social group may conflict with the needs of another group. This session will debate the issues and suggest new urban models that work for the benefit of all.
