Living Streets Aotearoa is running the 4th New Zealand Conference on walking and liveable communities on 2/3 August 2010 in Wellington. The focus of this conference is on economic value, with the theme: “Dollars and Sense of Walking; creating liveable communities”.
Walking is part of the solution to many of the issues facing New Zealand today. Communities which are walking-friendly and liveable attract people, businesses and tourists, resulting in higher property values, revitalised local businesses, lower health costs and safer, more pleasant neighbourhoods. The iconic cities in the world are walkable communities.
It is anticipated that the 2010 conference will attract an audience of around 150 – 200 people from throughout New Zealand. Delegates are expected to come from varied backgrounds including local and central government; urban, traffic and transport planning and design; and community and health representatives.
