A random Google search on "Rural Australia" came up with Australian 2020 Summit. One of the topics discussed was "The Future of Rural and Regional Australia".
Rural areas are clearly facing a shortage in every aspect of skills and services due to the rapid growth of urbanisation, of almost everyone wanting to move and live in the city where access is within close proximity. The above jpeg extract from the summit is one clear example illustrating the level of difficulty our folks living in rural areas are facing in the areas of health services and education.
The year 2020 isn't very far, and the questions asked in this summit were merely questions with no hard proposals [see page 16 of summit paper]. 100 years from now, in 2111, what sort of services, through architectural design can be explored and implemented into the rural areas?
Keeping the outcome and vision from Assessment 1 in mind, more research and exploration is required to create this "mobile entity" that would be both viable for the future of Australia.
