In today’s show Simon Kuestenmacher and I discuss the significant shift of millennials from urban living to suburban areas.

We highlight how millennials are reshaping suburban culture while still valuing aspects of their urban lifestyles.

This is a generation that once embraced city skylines, inner-city cafes, and the hustle of urban living, but is now packing up and heading for the burbs. But not for the white picket fence alone.

We explore the reasons behind this migration, the changing dynamics of suburban life, and the challenges related to infrastructure and housing markets.

 

We also discuss the challenges faced by regional towns, the need for strategic planning to manage population growth, and the potential for revitalising communities through targeted migration and infrastructure development.
