Humanising the City: an Urban Planning Discussion

Humanising the City: an Urban Planning Discussion

Wednesday 4 November, 12.30pm

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), Philip Belesky (Wellington freelance designer, Eye of the Fish blogger), and other invited guests (TBC). Come along and join the conversation about sharing urban space fruitfully, and making our city a place for people.
