ABC National Radio:

DIY cities and virtual design
We all know that communications technology is continuing to change the way we interact as individuals, but can we use the web 2.0 approach to rebuild our failing cities? We speak with John Geraci, the brain behind a project called DIYCity, a site that ‘invites people to personally reinvent the spaces around them using common web applications.’ Also, we’ll speak with Dr Marcus Foth, from the Institute of Creative Industries and Innovation at the Queensland University of Technology, about what happens when you take a group of schoolchildren and an expert in urban design and planning and transport them into a virtual world. And finally, Austin Ley, the Manager of City Research for the City of Melbourne.
