Open House Melbourne 2026 theme
A generous city gives more than it takes. It welcomes participation, opens doors and minds and creates space for everyone to belong. A generous city shares what it has: welcoming public places, buildings that invite participation and infrastructure designed with empathy and equity in mind. It shares knowledge, celebrates diversity and helps us see the city differently.
Across 24–26 July, Generous City invites us explore how we can design a more open, equitable and compassionate city that gives back, looks after one another and makes space for everyone.
