The Greater Cities Commission’s Research Strategy sets the direction, priorities and processes for the Commission’s research to help address emerging risks and opportunities across the Six Cities Region.
About the Strategy
Our research will provide new insights and evidence on how best to enhance the liveability, sustainability and productivity of our region, enabling people and the natural environment to thrive alongside each other.
We are collaborating closely with other parts of government, industry, local communities and research partners to deliver outcomes to transform planning and development across the Six Cities Region. We aim to take a transdisciplinary approach to research, looking at the big questions and challenges from a whole-of-system perspective.

Priority Research Areas
Our interconnected priority research areas are set to challenge us, and provide potential topics to explore.
Innovation Districts
Innovation Districts create an environment for diverse interactions between individuals, organisations, and institutions. They bring together collaborators, including citizens and people from academic, industry and government sectors, to actively work on research initiatives, bridging local interests with national economic/research agendas and international trade opportunities.
