Presenter: Alan Whiteley – Head of Landscape Architecture & Urban Design, WSP
This in-person seminar will be an opportunity to learn about the newly released Urban Design Toolkit for the Wellington Region – presented by Alan Whiteley, Head of Landscape Architecture and Urban Design at WSP.
The Urban Design Toolkit was commissioned by Greater Wellington as a way of supporting our communities to envision sustainable urban communities of the future – places that are more resilient, have a lighter impact on climate and environment, but also better deliver on people’s social, economic and cultural needs.
The Toolkit was developed to support the recently released Transport Emissions Reduction Pathway for the region, and there will be a brief outline of this strategy as part of the session.
