The 'tightening' of the connections between the physical, social, natural and digital in our public places and spaces is intense. And as city shapers, placemakers, product designers, technologists and asset custodians, it is our responsibility to ensure the qualities we love in the public realm are not just managed, but enhanced. This was my message at the Parks and Leisure Australia Vic/Tas Region conference yesterday in Melbourne. I think we are doing a good job with the 'now', but our 'heads-up display' on the 'next' for the public realm is not yet fine tuned. // Professions remain in silo's and many seem ok with this - it's not. // Tech solutions viewed as the responsibility of the IT department - it's not. // Digital connectivity is 'invisible' - it's not. // Single function/use infrastructure seems fine - it's not. Yes, there are nuances to each of these statements, but my point is we all have the responsibility to understand where the pressure points are (now and next) for our public places and spaces, and proactively engage. HUB Australasia Pty Ltd congrats everyone involved in such a stella conference - Hats off to PLA staff led by Dan Ferguson and the Council Executive Team led by Rachel Thorpe. #place #infrastructure #digital

Worlds Best Cities Austin ranks #53 Austin continues to shine as a hub of innovation and opportunity.

UT drives research and fuels the city’s thriving tech ecosystem, attracting global giants like Tesla, which recently established its headquarters here, alongside longtime leaders like Whole Foods and Dell. Downtown Austin’s skyline is evolving too, with projects like the Waterline—set to be Texas’ tallest building by 2026—and the upcoming Wilson Tower, redefining luxury urban living with mixed-use developments that combine residences, offices, and retail.
