Sustainability is no longer a side brief—it’s central to how we design, deliver and operate the cities of the future.

This panel brings together the leaders driving the next generation of sustainable development to explore what a truly future-ready city looks like. From embodied carbon and building performance to circular design and green infrastructure, the conversation goes beyond the buzzwords to unpack what’s actually working—and what’s not.

Speakers on this panel include:

• Grant Gabriel - Program Director, City of Gold Coast & ARRC Gold Coast

• Geoff Gourley - Director ESG & Program Delivery, CLARA

• Paul Hameister - Founder, Nature Based Cities

• Sally Capp AO - Chief Executive Officer, Create Advisory

This panel is moderated by Taryn Paris, Managing Editor, The Urban Developer.
