Build it and they will stay: building a state for young people

What are our current and future young citizens looking for in a place to live and grow?

While jobs and cultural opportunities are important, the ability and desire for young people to stay in a place is often shaped by their environment.

So how important are the urban environments and living conditions in Adelaide and South Australian towns for the retention and attraction of young people? Does the way and location where we build housing influence decisions? Is affordable, efficient and accessible transport important, or are the cultural and community networks within our lived environments key? What does “livability” mean for young people?

We invite you to join a discussion with 3 young panellists who have found a place in Adelaide as we seek their guidance and insight into their decisions and visions for Adelaide and South Australia's urban future.
