Five views on a (post) COVID-19 planning and environmental world

In view of the ‘no longer normal ‘COVID-19 operating environment in our (lucky) piece of the world that we inhabit, the Revue asked five senior practitioners two questions:

What impacts will the COVID-19 pandemic have on the urban environments that we have and are planning to create?

Will there be a return to adopted plans and policies or will there be new approaches required?

Our commentators are: Sarah Buckeridge, Director, Hassell Architects; Helen Gibson AO,. Former Deputy president of VCAT and Chair of multiple planning panels; Peter Seamer, Former CEO of the Victorian Planning Authority; Mark Sheppard, urban designer and Principal of Kinetica and Geoff Underwood, town planner and sometime government committee chair
