Net zero precincts project advances urban transition governance

The Net Zero Precincts ARC Linkage project at Monash University is advancing its second Living Lab cycle, focusing on urban transition governance and net zero ambitions through interdisciplinary collaboration. Key experiments include retrofitting student housing, building energy management, public transport planning, and sustainable building design. The Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) framework, developed by Dr Darren Sharp and Dr Christoph Brodnik, guides these efforts.

The MSDI Net Zero Academy offers professional development for executives on net zero strategies. The 'Imagining Net Zero Precinct Futures: Stage Two Report' envisions sustainable futures for the Monash University Clayton Campus and Monash Technology Precinct, integrating transition management with design anthropology. This initiative emphasises place-based learning and community collaboration.
