National Design Summit

PART OF SYDNEY DESIGN FESTIVAL

Australia is punching above its weight in design enterprise and professional services. Creative industry clusters in our major cities, towns and regions power a manufacturing and export sector that is adapting rapidly to changing global markets. Australian architects, landscape architects, planners and engineers are designing and building the future cities that will shape our region. Yet despite sustained calls from the industry for a design policy suited to the 21st century, Australia lags behind its regional neighbours and global competitors.
