Four Cities in One Day: Travel and Urban Form

NZ Centre for Sustainable Cities held a workshop on the 19th February as a part of the University of Otago Summer Schools Programme. This was a highly successful day themed around transport and urban form. 

The Centre had a high calibre of presentations highlighting the latest related research and methods from New Zealand and overseas. The connections made in terms of analysis and networks certainly added to the value of the day. Please email us if you would like to be put on our contacts list for future seminars.
