Liveable Cities for All: Are We There Yet?

Our definition of "liveability" is important if we are serious about cities that facilitate healthy and sustainable lifestyles that support both individual and planetary health.

The Victorian Inspiring Australia program is a community-focused initiative led by the Royal Society of Victoria, in partnership with the Commonwealth Government and the State Government of Victoria.

We acknowledge the First Peoples of Victoria and the essential ancestral knowledge held, recovered and enacted by Elders. We acknowledge that this land and its millennia-old relationship with First Peoples was never ceded. We acknowledge the many injustices suffered by the knowledge keepers and Custodians of Country through the disrespectful actions and attitudes of early members of the Victorian scientific community. We express our sincere regret for the ignorance and bigotry of those who preceded us.
