Ms Kathryn Meghen:

The ambition of the Bill appears to be to move in that direction, but we have not seen specifics in the Bill. It needs to be ambitious. The technologies and expertise are available to deliver to the kind of planning that Freiburg and other European cities have implemented. I believe the Freiburg plan was drawn up approximately 30 years ago. We must move toward those technologies and towards proper collaborative forward planning. We must understand the demographics and design places people want to live in. We do it in pockets here. Now we need to ensure the Act will support us in doing it in the mainstream.
