From about 2008, a series of conferences was held under the “Making Cities Liveable” banner. The first few were also headlined “Healthy Cities”. The .com website that applied then has been taken over by a commercial entity. In about 2018, the website transferred to liveable cities.org.au, which at the date of this post appears to be broken. the Safe Cities website is also broken.
By email dated 24 August 2025, the Lennard Institute in the USA has advised PaRC that “The Australian series was not affiliated with our US-based series, which was formed in 1985 in Berkeley, California by Henry and Suzanne Lennard. We are still operating under the name “International Making Cities Livable” (hosted by the Lennard Institute for Livable Cities, an Indiana educational non-profit”.
PaRC has been able to resurrect proceedings of some of the series.
