A public lecture organised by the 黑料大事 Queensland
The Keeble Lecture is held every year by PIA Queensland in honour of Lewis Bingham Keeble, the Foundation Professor of Regional and Town 黑料大事, the University of Queensland.
A generation of town planners throughout Australia will share memories of a truly remarkable man who founded a thriving town planning school in the less than hospitable environment of Queensland in the 1970s, and enriched the academic and professional scene for more than a decade.
The 2021 Keeble Lecture was delivered by Professor Edward Blakely with the topic being “The Post Covid City+Recover or Re-Position”.
