CrowdLands: Unlocking Housing Affordability in Plain Sight

AUG8
10:15
  • This event explores the challenge of housing affordability and promotes the need for building more homes in dense locations.
  • It is aimed at individuals interested in housing solutions and urban development in Sydney.
  • Attendees can learn about transparency and openness as key factors in addressing housing supply issues.

About this event

The problem is simple. The solution starts with openness. Housing affordability requires building more homes. Significantly more. Densely located where people actually want to live and work.

When done right, everyone benefits: first-time buyers get access, developers move more units, and landowners see their values rise.

But there's a bottleneck. Before a single brick is laid, land must be assembled into viable plots. Right now, this process happens behind closed doors - favouring land bankers and large developers at everyone else's expense. What if we could change that?

What to expect

Talk

Peter Dempster demystifies how land banking actually works, and shares his vision for opening up the process so it works for communities, not just insiders.

Hack

Then we roll up our sleeves. In a collaborative workshop, we'll brainstorm and start building a simulation that demonstrates how transparent land assembly could work in practice - a visual tool to make the abstract tangible.

Who should come?

Anyone curious about housing, urban development, civic tech, or game design. Developers, designers, policy thinkers, data people - all welcome.

Bring

Hilton Sydney Hotel, Sydney, Australia · Code.Sydney
In person

Welcome to the Sydney Claude Community! Whether you are completely new to artificial intelligence or a seasoned developer looking to architect enterprise solutions, this meetup is your space to learn, share, and grow. AI is moving fast, and navigating it alone can be overwhelming. We’ve broadened the scope of this group to support everyone in our local community who wants to understand and leverage AI—specifically Anthropic’s Claude—no matter where you are on your journey. What to Expect: Grab a coffee and join us for relaxed, open discussions broken down into three main areas of focus: •⁠ ⁠The AI Explorers (Beginners): For those who don't know much about AI yet but are eager to explore, ask questions, and get hands-on experience in a welcoming environment. •⁠ ⁠The Professionals (Intermediate): For those who understand the basics of AI but want practical advice on how to implement it to help their teams, automate workflows, or support their companies. •⁠ ⁠The Builders (Advanced): For developers and consultants willing to dive deep, study AI architecture, and prepare for the official Anthropic certification exams. Why Join Us? As AI evolves, getting the right guidance is crucial. One of our co-organizers is an official Anthropic Partner and a newly Certified Claude Code Architect Professional. We are here to support the community, provide mentorship, share real-world use cases, and help you navigate the certification pathways. Come along to network, share your ideas, and learn how to make AI work for you!
