Smart Places Masterclass - Investing in Smart Places with Michael Comninos, Jason de Sousa and Meredith Hodgman
This Masterclass looks at investment models to drive the deployment of smart places and achieve benefits at scale. The session takes a look at the opportunities and challenges of a whole precinct approach, roles for developers and government in enabling scale and funding solutions, including through public private partnerships, and the importance of measuring benefits and establishing return on investment with a focus on social impact.

Meredith has a background in law, sustainable transport, and digital transition. She is passionate about catalysing sector convergence for the cities of the future and has 15+ years of international experience in trade and investment, benchmarking and forecasting next-generation technology trends for urban economic, environmental and social efficiencies.
Meredith sits on the G20 Smart Cities Alliance PPP Taskforce, the Future of Place Global Advisory Board; the NSW Spatial Digital Twin Special Interest Group; and she currently sits on the NSW Smart Places Industry Advisory Panel.

Prior to joining Lendlease, Jason served in senior policy and leadership roles at both the State and Commonwealth levels of government. Jason has also acted for public and private sector clients in Asia and Australasia advising on public private partnerships, infrastructure investment strategy, and regulation.
He has a particular interest in how to unlock the potential of cities, focusing on how infrastructure and urban renewal projects can make cities more affordable, efficient, and accessible, and create value for public and private investors.
