Vertical Villages: Community, Place and Urban Density Pilot

The aim of this research is to explore how faith-based organisations (FBO) can facilitate place-making and community development in multicultural high-rise, mix-tenure and high-density urban environments. To do this, the project will firstly review existing literature and interview key actors carrying out community development and place-making in high rise developments. Secondly, drawing on a case study of the Macquarie Park precinct, the research will explore current resident experiences of belonging in existing multi-cultural high-rise developments. The project will compile an online toolkit and report that will inform FBO facilitated community development and place-making in multicultural high-rise urban areas.
