class="about"><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Sofitel Sydney Wentworth | Monday November 11, 2024</strong></p><p>Australia’s cities are being transformed by infrastructure. This year’s opening of a new underground metro line in Sydney’s CBD and progress towards an airport in Western Sydney and an airport rail link in Melbourne shows governments remain willing to invest. But Australia’s expanding population needs more homes and hospitals, and more efficient and affordable transport.</p><p>Where will governments find the money to expand our cities’ transport networks? What innovations are contractors using to keep construction costs down? Where is digital infrastructure most needed and how can it be protected from cyber attacks? What infrastructure is needed in the regions to encourage people to move out of crowded cities? And what will Brisbane’s 2032 organising committee learn from the use of existing public spaces in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games?</p><p>Join The Australian Financial Review’s annual Infrastructure Summit to debate what investments Australia’s top executives and policymakers are planning and whether they meet the nation’s needs.</p><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align:
