June 2006 - March 2007<br>
Sydney is a global metropolis sliding into chaos. A beautiful city
with a declining infrastructure, a city once characterised by its
concerns for social justice, it is now harder to live in, unhealthier,
more dangerous, more expensive, and far less equitable than its
potential holds.<br>
In a desire to stimulate a comprehensive debate among its citizens
about the future of our city and its region, the University of
Technology Sydney, the university of the city, sponsors six twilight
symposia focusing on critical issues in the city's future. The
symposia are held every six weeks or so, with the final event a free
public forum 2 weeks out from the March 2007 state
election.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Verdana" size="-3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Verdana" size="-3">A search
conference in April 2007 will focus attention on the post-election
issues and how policies will need to be developed and implemented.
Further information on the conference will appear later in
2006.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Verdana" size="-3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Verdana" size="-3">Each symposium
will be addressed by leading figures in the field, planners,
advocates, academics and social critics, who will identify and analyse
the issues and look for solutions. There will be time for questions
and comments. The collected papers will be published by UTS e-Press
through the TFC occasional papers series; there will be a series blog.
The series will be podcast.</font></div>
