007 Development: What can an Agent of Australian Capital be?


What sort of characteristics will an Agent of a hypothetical Australian Capital posses?

We collaborated and started by recognising that there needs to be a "catalyst" to spur a city/monument/etc. to be that "capital". Every nation require an "identity" that is unique for every individual to be able to relate to. This is a common human trait in finding solace in knowing where they come from. The hypothetical capital needs to be a metamorphosis from what it is today - not that there is everything wrong with the present capital, but recognising the potential of the rest of Australia that would fit the characteristic of representing Australia as a whole, is beneficial to represent the diverse population of Australia. There are many desired aspects to being an Australian Capital and recognising some of those aspects may be key to ensure that certain cause & effects can be hypothesized and tackled appropriately - addressing issues before it happens.

Current popular cities in Australia represent a hub of different things that people tend to flock to, both local and non. These are strength and traits of the Australian society and culture which could be maximised in its entirety in the search of an Australian Capital in order for it to stand as "A Place to Be".
