Are Our Cities Ready? The Truth About Population Projections and the Case of Victoria

As cities expand, how do urban planners anticipate future needs and ensure sustainable growth? In this episode of The Urbanist Lens, hosts Drew and Clark dive into the role of population projections in shaping cities. With Victoria’s population set to hit 8 million by the early 2030s, smart planning is more crucial than ever. From transport infrastructure and housing development to economic policies and sustainability initiatives, we explore how data-driven planning keeps cities livable and thriving.

Our discussion highlights key projects like Melbourne’s Suburban Rail Loop, affordable housing strategies, and regional development initiatives. Plus, we examine why demographic analysis—from aging populations to migration trends—plays a vital role in designing future-ready cities.

Produced and written by Andro Madrogaba, this episode offers a deep dive into how urban planning adapts to rapid growth. Tune in for expert insights and a forward-looking perspective on building better cities!
