Melbourne architecture has an impact on the three questions. Architecture effects livability by giving Melbournians places to live and, with modern architecture and changing ideas, the quality of Melbourne livability will only improve… if it’s affordable… On a different note, Architecture is also beneficial to the sustainability of or city.

Developing on this can only improve the quality of Melbourne life.

After all of this research, we still have questions for the trail: › What are some interesting issues/controversies raised in residential Melbourne Architecture? › Are residential buildings in Melbourne affordable? › Is livability different in other neighborhoods? How? › How environmentally sustainable is Melbourne in general? Thank you for listening.
