Optional Workshop

9.00am to 11.00am

Workshop

Stamford Plaza

Mr Adam Davies &

Dr John Holm

John Holm and Adam Davies worked together on the Smart Communities Guide produced for the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation

Smart communities: engaging, collaborative and vibrant places for the invention, innovation and creation of good ideas

A Smart Community circulates people, products and ideas quickly and efficiently. Through effective implementation of design and place making, a smart community accommodates and accelerates invention, innovation and creation of good ideas. Well designed vibrant, mixed use communities provide a stage for capital transfer and innovation.

In 2009 the Queensland Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation commissioned a focused study (and production of an award winning client guide) into the theory, processes, principles and drivers for smart communities.

This workshop will establish a framework for the conceptualisation and delivery of smart communities. It will outline: overarching drivers, theories, knowledge worker needs and attractors, the value of good design and the physical opportunities of place, and the role of delivery strategies to ensure success (how to be a good client). It will raise the awareness of place delivery and management to assist decision and policy makers, clients, regulators and funding institutions to be smart community literate. It will focus on the role of urban design in both establishing a built environment context for knowledge communities and innovation, as well as the methods in which to procure the right design team to deliver the project.
