Back in New Zealand for the second time, Paul Steely White will share fresh and inspiring success stories from New York City.

Come and hear about key projects and creative and coordinated campaigns that advocate for better bicycling, walking, and public transit for all New Yorkers by reclaiming the streets from cars.

Find out what Auckland can learn from NYC’s evolving street design and transportation policy – and from its strongest voice for people-friendly streets!
