Weekly Podcast - Episode 36: Liberal for Prahran Dr. Katie Allen
Laurence DragomirOctober 11, 2018

Following on from Urban.com.au's earlier Podcasts with Greens Member for Prahran, Sam Hibbins and Labor Candidate for Prahran, Neil Pharaoh, today we complete the trifecta with Liberal Candidate for Prahran, Dr. Katie Allen. Dr. Allen and I discuss the challenges facing Melbourne and Victoria as a result of unprecedented levels of population growth and what the State Coalition's policies to tackle these issues are, should they be elected to form government on November 25.

The question of what type of city does Melbourne want to be in the future is also posed, with Dr. Allen citing the two extremes of sprawl or a decentralised medium density model - do we want to be a "State of Cities or a City State?"
