Description

Back in 2002, with mounting concern that growth pressures were impacting negatively on Brisbane's character and identity, the Brisbane City Council established City designed for subtropical living, as one of eight strategic themes that it saw as critical to the successful future liveability of the city. Happily this remains part of the re-worked city vision to 2026... Council partnered QUT, and subsequently the State Govenment's Office of Urban Management to fund a collaborative centre to develop a knowledge base in subtropical design, as it pertains to the culture landscapes and built fabric of Brisbane and South East Queensland.
