Sally Capp, former Lord Mayor of Melbourne and management consultant, joins us on the Century of Cities to reflect on leadership, livability, and the transformation of cities through vision and action. As the first woman directly elected as Lord Mayor, Sally led Melbourne through one of its most defining chapters, the pandemic, while championing inclusion, innovation, and community connection. She shares lessons from her time in office on how to build vibrant, people-centred cities, the importance of independent leadership, and the power of focusing on what can be done rather than what can't. Sally envisions cities that are dynamic, sustainable, and deeply human places that inspire a sense of belonging, pride, and purpose for all who call them home.
