Mornings With John Mackenzie

John MacKenzie chats with Associate professor Lisa Law, Chair of Tropical Urbanism & Design at JCU Cairns, to better understand the future urban growth and living in tropical north Queensland. Cairns' population is expected to boom in the coming decades, with some forecasts predicting that up to 460,000 people may call our region home by the middle of this century. Lisa spoke of the need for innovative housing and planning designs that allow for higher-density living whilst balancing the preservation of green spaces that we all currently enjoy.
