Stephanie Johnston - World Heritage Listing as a future-making tool

Planning Beyond Tomorrow
Urban and regional planner and InDaily columnist Stephanie Johnston presents 'World Heritage Listing as a future-making tool'. Stephanie explores the potential for World Heritage listing to create value and opportunity, to seed unexpected outcomes and to curate a desirable future for Adelaide.
In October 2021, at a time of deep disenchantment with our planning system, the National Trust of South Australia gathered experts in planning, architecture, transport, environmental science and history to tell us what they think can be done to raise our horizons and recapture the vision that once inspired us.
Could a 50-year plan preserve the best of what we have, meet the challenges of a changing climate and make future Adelaide the envy of the world?
Stephanie Johnston is a former book publisher turned urban and rural planner who writes for a number of publications including a+u, Historic Environment, InDaily, SA Life and Fleurieu Living Magazine. She
is interested in how good planning and inspirational design can harness and enhance the ‘core drivers’ of a community - culture and commerce. Those interests are reflected in her involvement with a World Heritage nomination of the Adelaide Plan and Settlement Landscapes of the Mount Lofty Ranges. Stephanie lives and works between an adapted warehouse in the city and her beach house on the Fleurieu.
