墨尔本作为澳大利亚增长最快的城市，在2024-25财年新增10.5万人[1]，人口已超过550万[1]。根据预测，墨尔本将在2032年左右超越悉尼成为澳大利亚最大城市[1]，并在2050年达到900万人口[1]。面对这一快速扩张带来的挑战，The Age报纸与墨尔本大学宣布将于10月19至21日在Federation Square的The Edge场地联合举办Melbourne Assembly论坛[1]。
这场论坛汇集了城市规划领域的国际知名专家与本地领导者，就如何提升城市可居住性进行深入讨论[1]。参与的国际主讲嘉宾包括前纽约市长Bill de Blasio和"15分钟城市"概念创始人Carlos Moreno[1]。论坛将聚焦城市规划、可负担住房和墨尔本城市未来等核心议题[1]。
Melbourne is Australia's fastest-growing city, adding 105,030 residents in the 2024-25 financial year, bringing its population to over 5.5 million [1]. At this trajectory, the city is projected to reach 9 million residents by 2050 and is expected to surpass Sydney as Australia's largest city around 2032 [1].
To address the challenges posed by this rapid expansion, The Age newspaper and the University of Melbourne are organizing the Melbourne Assembly, a major public forum scheduled for October 19-21 at The Edge in Federation Square [1]. The event will bring together international experts and local leaders to discuss critical issues including urban planning, affordable housing, and the city's future development. International speakers confirmed to participate include former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Carlos Moreno, the originator of the "15-minute city" concept [1].
