Living Together at Melbourne Knowledge Week

RMIT PlaceLab was introduced as RMIT University’s new research initiative at Melbourne Knowledge Week in May 2022. This included a first look at our research projects for Cycle 01, including Living Together.

The event was held at The Capitol as part of the RMIT Culture Talks series. Researchers Dr Richard Black and Rebecca Roke spoke about the Living Together Research Project, asking the community about the main challenges to housing choice in Melbourne’s inner suburbs.

Follow along here with the Living Together project as we explore the experiences of residents living in collective housing in Merri-bek.
