HUMANISING THE CITY: and urban planning discussion

Wednesday 4 November
12.30pm, City Gallery Wellington Adam Auditorium

How do planning and urban design in Wellington respond to human needs?
What is the role of urban design in making our cities liveable, lively, and community-focused places? How do we create public space which balances environmental sustainability with infrastructure sensitive to the needs of its inhabitants?

Tom Beard (WCC urban designer) will chair a roundtable discussion with:
Associate Professor Penny Allan (Programme Director, Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Architecture & Design, Victoria University of Wellington),
Professor Philippa Howden-Chapman (Director, NZ Centre for Sustainable Cities),
Philip Belesky (Wellington freelance designer, Eye of the Fish blogger), and
Mike Mellor (Vice President, Living Streets Aotearoa).

Come along and join the conversation about sharing urban space fruitfully, and making our city a place for people.

Free Entry. This event is NZIA accredited: 5 CPD Points will be allocated for Registered Architects who attend this discussion.
