The part one of the latest episode of the Urban Exchange sees Monica Barone, CEO of the City of Sydney, in conversation with Jeff Risom to understand how the nature of resilience is changing, and how Monica and the city are adapting. The new Urban Exchange Episode takes an in-depth look at the ways the City of Sydney is approaching urban resilience, from engaging with citizens to encouraging proactivity in the community. In the first half of a two-part episode, our guest Monica Barone explains how the city’s response to climate has been shaped by the will of the people who live, work and play in the city, with a panel for community engagement stretching back 15 years. We hear how the community’s concerns reflect those of the city and its government, what measures needed to be adopted to take action on the changing climate, and how the public’s desire to see change has shaped the Sustainable Sydney plan. Part two of our conversation with Monica will be available on 11th of October 2022– be sure to subscribe today to ensure you don’t miss out.
