Participants worked collaboratively to explore innovative ways to enhance sustainability, livability, and community connection through urban greening within the heart of Fremantle. The challenge provided students with hands-on experience in community-led urban design, sustainability innovation, and collaborative problem-solving, bridging academic learning with real-world application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
