The Melbourne Experiment

In March 2020, the Victorian Government announced a shutdown of non-essential venues and services to help contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus. With the implementation of the restrictions, Parlange established the Melbourne Experiment to bring together research expertise across Monash University to monitor and analyse elements of the urban environment before, during and after the COVID-19 shutdown.
