Places for People 2015

Places for People is a long-term study to explore and document how our city’s urban environment is changing. 

2 People walking in the gardens

It focuses on how people use the city in their daily lives, from the buildings, footpaths, streets and laneways to the squares, parks and gardens. It provides the latest baseline data to improve our understanding of the city.

In 2015, the City of Melbourne introduced new analysis, The Local Liveability Study. It investigates a key aspect of any city’s functionality: Does the city serve the everyday needs of its people?

The Local Liveability Study adds an integrated and dynamic approach to reveal the local, contemporary Melbourne. It poses new questions and challenges our thinking about planning and design to enable Melbourne to continue its growth and development as a resilient and accessible city. It will inform thinking, planning and design to improve the quality of life in our city.
