Join us for an interactive event presented by THI Studio with a cross disciplinary focus exploring how we can be more competent at leading urban transition, including building the urban literacy of the community and developing the skills of the sector to form change strategies.

Facilitated by Peter Browning, the session will include:

• A model for assessing a communities capacity for urban change

• Increasing urban literacy and citizenship.

• The outcomes of research and education with 360 people living in high growth, high change communities across Australia.

• A framework to plan cultural change strategies

Finally, a Peter will facilitate a multi-disciplinary activity to give people an opportunity to use the framework and identify the potential ingredients of a cultural urban change strategy for the Sunshine Coast.
