What kind of city do you want Adelaide to be by the year 2050?
The decisions we make today will shape the future of our city for generations to come.
From how we move around and where we live, to the jobs and businesses we create, the environment we protect, the events and festivities we enjoy and the communities we build, long-term thinking is needed to guide and inform how Adelaide will evolve over the coming decades.
That’s why we’re inviting people from across Adelaide and South Australia to share their vision for the future.
We want to hear your ideas about what Adelaide could become by 2050.
Your perspective, whether you’re a resident, student, worker, business owner, creative, or community leader, will help inform a bold, long-term vision for our city and will guide the conversations, actions and outcomes that will shape our city’s future direction.
Visions can take many forms. You might imagine a greener city, a thriving innovation economy, better connected neighbourhoods, stronger communities, a vibrant arts and events scene, or something entirely different. Big ideas, small ideas, practical ideas and creative ideas are all welcome.
