Clara Lending

CLARA proposes to build a number of the world’s most liveable, sustainable, smart cities and connect them with a High Speed Rail system between Sydney and Melbourne via Canberra. A CLARA smart city i...s establishing a new Australian dream where people and business can thrive in an environment designed for liveability, sustainability and connectivity. What makes a CLARA smart city remarkable is that for the first time in over 100 years we are designing a cities for people, not cars. By going back to the future, we are returning to a tried-and-tested model for urban life, one that centres around active, inclusive and connected neighbourhoods. Imagine new cities where data is open, energy’s renewable, water is valued, homes are affordable and people can live within 10 minutes of all they need. Cities where world class healthcare meets high tech education. Where new and existing businesses will converge to create more vibrant regional economies. Cities built to unlock all human potential. Cities made possible by high speed rail that can place citizens in our capitals in less time than a morning commute. These are the regional smart cities CLARA is building. The development of a new 21st century high speed rail service will provide a transport service Australians deserve and need, and will overcome the tyranny of distance between our cities and regional centres.
