<div style="font-size: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; ">We are pleased to announce the program for the Sydney platform of Transit Labour, which will run from 3-11 July.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><br>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><br>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; ">Planning for this platform has been underway the past year, and has included background research and a digital visualisation of land-side and water-side operations at Port Botany. Our interest
in this visualisation was to translate publicly accessible datasets into a design concept that began to register the impact upon labour of productivity measures within the Port over the past 10 years. The digital visualisation can be found at:</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><a href="http://transitlabour.asia/documentation/">http://transitlabour.asia/documentation/</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><br>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><br>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; ">A range of events are scheduled for July, including seminars and site visits of Port Botany and various intermodal terminals, warehouses and container facilities. A concluding workshop will reflect
on the Sydney platform in relation to our collective research in Shanghai (2010) and Kolkata (2011). This will be followed by three panels on Zones, Corridors and Circuits at the Knowing Asia conference, held at the University of Western Sydney.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><br>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><br>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; ">Unfortunately participation in the site visits and some seminars is restricted. For those interested, the Transit Labour Workshop on the 10 July will be an open session and all are welcome.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><br>
