	Description:		At a time when Melbourne is undergoing the greatest change since the Gold Rush, we joined Kim Dovey, Rob Adams and Ron Jones at MPavilion to launch their new book Urban Choreography: Central Melbourne, 1985– (Melbourne University Publishing, 2018). A collective retrospective on the incremental transformation of central Melbourne from the mid-1980s onwards, Urban Choreography documents and discusses the key events, plans, projects, places and people involved in these transformations, seeking to understand the forces—political or otherwise—that drove, framed and constrained them. The book was launched by outgoing University of Melbourne vice-chancellor Professor Glyn Davis. Following an introduction by Urban Choreography co-author and City of Melbourne director of city design and projects Rob Adams, City of Melbourne CEO Ben Rimmer moderated a panel discussion featuring co-authors Kim Dovey and Ron Jones, as well as former Lord Mayor of Melbourne (1987–8) Lecki Ord, and former CEO of Federation Square (2003–13) Kate Brennan. Together, they discussed the stories and ideas behind the book and why it’s a story that needs to be told now.
