Delivering Livable Futures: Housing, Places, and the Path Forward from the ULI Australia Conference 2025
Australia’s population is projected to grow from 27 million to 31.3 million by 2035. At the same time, the number of Australians age 75 or older will surge from 2.1 million to 3.2 million, heightening demand for age-friendly and accessible homes and neighborhoods. The 2025 ULI Australia Conference was set against this demographic backdrop.
