The webinar explores how human-centered design was applied for community consultation at Sydney Olympic Park.

Human-centred design is a process more typically seen in product or software development than in place making. Street Furniture Australia uses human-centered design to create products and services, however, it turns out the methodology is also an effective tool for deeply understanding the needs and aspirations of a community.The Homify project is an initiative led by the Sydney Olympic Park Authority in collaboration with CM+ and Street Furniture Australia.

ASLA San Diego President, Chris Stebbins and Australian Institute of Landscape Architects President, Lee Andrews invite you to this first of a series of joint events to introduce professionals from both countries to hear about the latest in design concepts.
