Ogden Lecture

The most significant and most urgent transport and mobility challenge facing Melbourne is planning for rapid, sustainable, liveable, affordable growth in population, to be achieved through increased density, not further outward sprawl. Housing pressures have added to the urgency of addressing this complex challenge. Transport planning and urban planning must be integrated, but how can that be done, in a manner that the community will accept, not oppose, when it has never been done before? How can the community be engaged in this process?

We were delighted to host the 2023 Ogden Lecture, where Professor Eric Miller from the University of Toronto addressed this question, drawing on his extensive knowledge and experience in this field and explored the path ahead for Melbourne region with a projected population of 10 million by 2050.

Our sincere thanks and gratitude to Professor Eric Miller for a thought-provoking commentary on the complex interaction of transport and land use in planning for Melbourne's rapid growth. Many thanks to all those who were able to join us in making this event a huge success.
