Tonight is the next in the series of Auckland Conversations and the speaker is Jeff Tumlin. He’s an expert in complete streets and is also the author of the book Sustainable Transportation Planning: Tools for Creating Vibrant, Healthy, and Resilient Communities. Here’s a bit more about him.
Jeff Tumlin is an expert in helping communities move from discord to agreement about the future.
For more than twenty years, Jeff has led award-winning plans in cities from Seattle and Vancouver to Moscow and Abu Dhabi. He helps balance all modes of transportation in complex places to achieve a community’s wider goals and best utilize their limited resources. He has developed transformative plans throughout the world that accommodate millions of square feet of growth with no net increase in motor vehicle traffic.
Jeff is renowned for helping people define what they value and building consensus on complex and controversial projects. He provides residents and stakeholders the tools they need to evaluate their transportation investments in the context of achieving their long-term goals. He understands that managing parking and transportation demand is a critical tool for revitalizing city centers and creating sustainable places.
If you were wondering why we hadn’t posted about this earlier it’s because the event is already full. However that doesn’t mean you have to miss out as the events are now live-streamed which is fantastic. Even better the council have just launched a new website for the Auckland Conversations talks and even better they’re now using youtube – including for all their old videos – so we can now embed them in posts.
Did you go to the talk or watch it, what were the highlights for you?
