In 2021, Living Cities Forum invites globally celebrated thinkers, architects and urbanism experts — including author Bruce Pascoe, philosopher Timothy Morton, architect Anupama Kundoo, designer Maarten Gielen, architect Sarah Lynn Rees and artist Tega Brain — to discuss The Long View, a theme that asks how different perspectives on time can affect the growth of our cities. 

Joining the Forum from across the world, these guests will deliver a series of keynote addresses that speak to modern expectations of instantaneity and immediacy, the pandemic-induced convergence of home life, daily work and free time, ownership and structural disparities, circularity and re-education, harnessing a commitment to ‘the moment’, and many more temporal considerations that determine the form and function of the spaces in which we meet, work and live.
