Design and planning

The third in our series of walking into the future looks at research into parking space allocation and the important place of pedestrians in a vibrant economy. This meeting will be of interest to all in local government and those interested in walking. Listen to the researchers present their myth-busting results from New Zealand studies.

When     5.30pm - 7.30pm Tuesday 6 September 2011

Where    Meeting room, Wellington  City Council, Wakefield Street 

You are invited to join us for a discussion on the importance of pedestrians to community resilience. Starting with a report back from the workshop of transport innovator David Engwicht we will look at how pedestrians contribute to community resilience and what we can do to foster resilience.

This is the second in a series of meetings to highlight important aspects of walking for the future of living communities. The first looked at footpath design.

Living Streets Aotearoa, Wellington, invites you to come and hear about some of the latest research and developments on footpath design. Walking is the first mode of transport for all humans and is the way to the future for healthy people, social and economic benefits and vibrant communities. Walking and pedestrians are a key part of the transport network.

This is an important topic for all local councillors and council transport staff and contractors- those primarily responsible for building and maintaining footpaths, and ensuring they work well.
