Webbed Walking, sharing inspiring stories online
Submitted by Jenny-Kaye Potaka on Tue, 24/08/2010 - 16:10Abstract Remit
Stories are part of everyone's lives and the Feet First website has chosen narrative interaction to encourage participation in both walking and sharing ideas. The stories which are placed on line are situated in the local environment and provide inspiration and ideas that provide local solutions. The use of the web in this instance is largely participatory, and based on open source media through the use of citizen – centric principles.

Creating effective campaigns using free software
Submitted by Jenny-Kaye Potaka on Tue, 24/08/2010 - 15:12Abstract Remit
The 2 km Auckland Harbour Bridge that connect the north and south shores in Auckland City New Zealand does not have any walking or cycling on it. It is for motorized vehicles only. Originally the paths were planed but were never built as the money was not available. The bridge was built with 4 lanes in 1959 and later in 1969 another 4 lanes were clipped on the original structure.
Since that time walkers and cyclists have advocated for a way across.
I am part of the current push to get this access.
