Urban Design Film Screening and Forum - Urbanized by Gary Hustwit

We are working on a campaign to bring Gary Hustwit to Australia. This event would include a breakfast, preview screenings and a post-film forum looking at the challenges of balancing housing, mobility, public space, civic engagement, economic development, and environmental policy and connecting this dialogue into the public domain. It is anticipated that up to 500 people would be involved.
