What: A talk for the Royal Geographic Society of Queensland by Professor Marcus Foth, School of Design, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia

When: Tuesday, March 03, 2026,  7:30 PM – 9:00 PM

Abstract: Brisbane’s successful bid for the 2032 Olympic Games was globally promoted as the world’s first “climate-positive” Olympics. The host organisers used the media to signal this as a supposed turning point in mega-event sustainability. Yet this contractual commitment was later quietly removed from the Olympic Host Contract, replaced by weaker aspirational language with no enforcement mechanisms. Drawing on comparative research with colleagues at Politecnico di Torino and recent developments in Brisbane, this talk examines how sustainability rhetoric, visual spectacle, and governance practices intersect in contemporary Olympic planning.

Morning in Conversation with SEQCA: Why is the Missing Middle so hard to find?

Most of us agree we need more housing diversity and more affordable housing, but the evidence is that multistorey high density residential tower blocks are less affordable and less liveable than various types of smaller homes in convenient places spread across the city. So why isn’t this type of development happening and how could we find that mythical Missing Middle? Is it really all down to the NIMBY effect (real or imagined) or are there other factors at play and can we change the trajectory?

When: Tuesday, 25/11/2025, 10.30 am -12.30 pm

Where: Room: S07_2.16/2.18, Griffith University, South Bank Graduate Centre

Guest speakers: Professor Burton, Emeritus Professor of Urban Management and Planning; Ms Kerrianne Meulman, Managing Director, Urban Economics and Director, Suburban Futures; Maya Glassman, Policy and Strategic Engagement Lead, Q Shelter.

This talk explains what the initial Mobility as a Service (MaaS) idea was and how we have progressed with trying to find a way forward that aligns with a business model and how it might change travel behaviour to achieve a range of sustainability goals. Disappointingly the ecosystem focussed on multi-modalism has to date failed to deliver and we have looked for new ways of seeing is there is ecosystem that may make a rebadged MaaS a worthwhile activity – which we call Mobility as a Feature (MaaF) with embedded multi-service and non-mobility service providers. We sketch out the next generation plan.
