Join us for a citizen led conversation walking through familiar streets. Starting at Dixon St steps in central Wellington, see the streets with fresh eyes as we look at current issues, old and new buildings, artworks, public spaces and how we use them, and proposals for change.

This is Wellington Living Streets Aotearoa fourth Jane's Walk, in the steps of urbanist Jane Jacob's who argued against motorway destruction of a neighbourhood in New York in the 1960s and won. She believed in the power of the people to help develop and grow public spaces in an organic way.

Several speakers will talk to points of interest along the way and we encourage everyone to take part.

Please RSVP on to our email or at Wellington Living Streets Aotearoa facebook page.
