The Ableist Cities Symposium will bring together academics and industry experts to hear narratives of individual lived experience and co-designed research around disability and accessibility in cities.

Hosted by the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning at the University of Melbourne, this two-day symposium brings together academic, government and industry experts to set the national research agenda to support the transformation of Australian cities. A series of keynote lectures, site visits and panel discussions featuring local and international speakers will explore the need for an increase in the scale of retrofitting in Australia. Join us for these timely conversations about our evolving cities. The symposium will also be livestreamed, find out more on the registration page.
