Australasian economies and cities are changing. Despite mining and agricultural booms, economic activity is gravitating towards big cities and their centres. These new patterns create challenges: longer commutes; geographic divides that limit opportunities for both businesses and individuals; and put social fabric under strain. 

Join us at the next Auckland Conversation to hear John Daley discuss the effects of changing economies.

To make the most of 21st century urbanisation, and share the benefits fairly, requires reforms to planning, transport and taxation. These are the core of the reform agenda for our times.

Introducing John Daley

John Daley is the CEO of Grattan Institute, which provides independent, rigorous and practical solutions to Australia’s most pressing public policy issues. The current programmes of Grattan Institute focus on productivity growth, cities, school education, tertiary education, energy and health.

John’s work at Grattan Institute has focused on economic and budgetary reform. He is particularly interested in government prioritisation. His other interests include analysing the situations in which government intervention is justified, and the limits to government.
