How Demographics Shape Australian Cities

We’re joined by Simon Kuestenmacher – Director of Research and co-founder of The Demographics Group – to discuss some of the findings from the 2021 Census and what they mean for Australia. The data from the census can play a huge role in how we plan our cities and approach development in the future. A demographer like Simon has the ability to see problems years in advance, so how can we respond to challenges like housing, aged care, worker shortages and the decentralisation of our cities?

Simon outlines some potential solutions to these challenges, as well as opportunities  and some positive signs for Australia’s future.
