Episode 3: Civic and Cultural Space - a podcast by Fed Square

Fed Square’s opening marked the end of some controversies, but when one door closes many others others open. Between the public’s first reactions to Fed Square’s architecture, challenges in activating the space sustainably, the Apple Store plan and its final embrace as one of the youngest Heritage-listed spaces in the world, Fed Square has come a long way in its short two decades.

Listen to this episode of Anything But Square and learn how Fed Square rose from mixed public opinion to become the beloved jewel in Melbourne’s cultural and civic crown.
