Inspirational Cities

Liveable Vancouver


The world’s most liveable city is characterized by high-rise residential and mixed-use development. The compact core is called "ecodensity”. Vancouver has emphasised quality design and planning that contributes to environmental sustainability, affordability and liveability.

With a large trolley bus fleet and strong focus on pedestrian and cycling, Vancouver has seen a decrease in cars but an increase in vibrancy, activity and demand for housing. A fantastic example of how a pro- development and pro-environment culture can come together to create prosperity and international excellence in building cities.


Exciting Hong Kong

Hong Kong is an important business partner and gateway to China for Adelaide. You may be surprised to know that less than 25% of Hong Kong's land is developed with 40% dedicated to parks and reserves. Intensely urbanised, the city has made an effort to promote a green environment. 90% of daily commuters are on public transport.

Hong Kong has positioned itself as a financial centre, successfully moving from an industrial to service economy. Known as a centre for modern architecture with vibrant street life and excellent markets, Hong Kong is an organised city with a clean city culture.

Vibrant Melbourne

Melbourne is renowned as a cultural centre with a fantastic network of historic lanes and arcades with busy shops, cafés, nightclubs and street art.

Listed as the second most liveable city in the world, Melbourne blends heritage and contemporary architecture and features an integrated public transport system. Don’t we all love Melbourne’s trams!

The mix of city high rises and abundance of parks, gardens and diverse multicultural city characteristics works well. The result is urban renewal, a thriving economy and buzzing city.
