This event will appeal to developers, urban planners, designers, transport planners, infrastructure experts, local, state and federal officials active in cities policy, and broadly anyone with an interest in understanding how the forces that shaped metropolitan development in the past won’t be the same as those which will shape it into the future.

THE FUTURE OF SUBURBIA II: WHERE THE JOBS ARE
Brisbane. November 14, 2019, 7am - 12pm
Where the jobs of the future are going. And why.
The location and growth of jobs is one of the largest city-shaping forces of them all. From 19 century industry which generated factories and transport facilities to the 20th century and the paper factories and admin centres which spawned countless office towers and through to today where CBDs are becoming increasingly more about entertainment, recreation, education, cultural and retail pursuits. The one constant has been the change in work and how that has shaped the urban environment.Understanding how work will change in the future is the key to understanding the impacts on urban development, urban planning and property development. Not only will the types of industries and occupations change, but their locations will also change.
That’s why this year’s Future of Suburbia event is focusing on jobs: where they are, where they’re likely to be going in the future, and the forces that will reshape the employment landscape – and property markets with it. The half-day conference will be headlined by global head of research for Indeed.com (the world’s biggest job site), San Francisco based Jed Kolko.
Will high costs of living and rising congestion combined with a changing employment landscape to create new opportunities for middle ring and outer suburban areas in south east Queensland – much as it is doing across the USA according to Kolko? What industries are changing and where are the jobs going now? And what can suburban and regional centres do to attract these fast growing industries to bolster employment and economic vibrancy?
Helping explore this theme with Jed are a host of experts: Peter Seamer AO (former CEO of the Victorian Planning Authority and author of Breaking Point: the Future of Australian Cities); Kate Meyrick (CEO of The Hornery Institute); Kerrianne Muelman (Managing Director, Urban Economics); Russell Luhrs (Springfield City Group) and more. The conference will be opened by Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner who recently announced a “Better Suburbs Initiative” to support suburban centre development into the future.
