Re-City: knowing and re-imagining Melbourne from the ground up

  • Building F, Room F4.10, Caulfield Campus, Monash Melbourne (map)

Presented by Monash Urban Lab

ReCity is a work in progress that takes you on a virtual journey across metropolitan Melbourne via a digital map that includes layers of information, the juxtaposition of which prompt new ways of thinking about and acting on the city. This evolving map features multi-scalar, spatial data such as Melbourne’s geology, vegetation, waterways, cultural heritage, built form and regulatory frameworks, along with archival material. This abutting of diverse knowledges reveals areas of contestation between built and natural systems, that require a re-imagining and re-making of our city.

This panel discussion will be recorded and available on this website after the session and on the Henry Halloran Research Trust Youtube channel.
