KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Master of Ceremonies and Day 2 Keynote Speaker


Steven Burgess
Urban Strategist

Steven Burgess has spent his 30+ year career helping Cities, Towns and Villages all around the world reform their bad behaviour so their citizens can prosper. Diverse housing, more sustainable movement and quality urban land uses make for happy citizens, although it is rarely pursued and even less frequently delivered.

Steven is a change agent for quality urban life and guides governments and communities to understand land use, economic and movement policy reform to foster essential change. His superpower is encouraging communities and governments to choose a path towards positive change and more happy and healthy communities.

Steven had conducted projects, workshops and city shaping masterclasses throughout Australia and New Zealand as well as Canada, USA, Central America, Middle East and Europe.
