Melbourne 'must build higher, denser'

Ex-NYC mayor Bill de Blasio argues that Melbourne needs to construct taller, denser buildings to tackle housing affordability and maintain its diversity. He highlights that without such changes, the city risks losing its character and becoming less inclusive. This push for higher density is crucial as Melbourne grapples with rising population pressures and the need to accommodate more people in a limited space, making it a key discussion for urban planning and policy-making in Australia.
