Recapping the Second Half of 2025

It’s been a minute! When we were last active here in June, we had just finished up at the Policy Without Politics Conference, hosted by Citizen Assemblies for South Australia—a highlight of our year. Since then, we’ve been hard at work on a major new project, which we look forward to sharing more details on next year.

In the meantime—and before the year wraps up—we wanted to share a few keynotes and interviews delivered by our founder and CEO, Elizabeth Farrelly, has taken part in throughout the second half of the year. Across all of Elizabeth’s activities runs the message that citizens and deliberative democracy are essential to shaping solutions amid political crisis—principles that lie at the core of The Better Cities Initiative.

Thank you for all your support this year and for engaging in this important conversation. We’re looking forward to reconnecting in 2026. In the meantime, we wish you all a happy festive season.
