Loved the video and the idea of Australian and Japanese architects bring new thinking to Newcastle. Will it be happening again next year?

Hi Gordon,

There’s no plans for another event in Newcastle. The CitySwitch project alternates between Australia and Japan each year but takes a different city each time. It won’t be back in Newcastle any time soon however we are always looking out for interesting partnerships and projects.
