Featuring guest speakers from the realms of urban design, planning, and tactical urbanism, this is where you'll hear about rubbish collection as community building, learn from what hasn't worked, and create a space for IRL conversations that don't focus on the photo op.

On the night presenters will show 4 slides; 2 wins, 2 fails, and have 10 minutes to tell us all about it.

Speakers are:

Liz Allen - Director, Place Creative

Sh*t Happens: Grunge and Greatness at the Griffiths Gardens

Keegan Aplin-Thane (via zoom) - Leader of the Placemaking Programme in Palmerston North

Asphalt Assault

Natalie Donze - Stellar Projects

Whack-a-mole - Highs and Lows on High Street

Boopsie Maran - Places for Good

Process Over People; Tales of health & safety, out of office replies, dots on maps instead of heels in dirt.

This event will be recorded and available to watch via Zoom.

Join our team for nibbles and beverages from 6.30pm, a cash bar will operate on the night to grease the wheels of the awkward learnings chat. Bike parking will also be provided. A huge thanks to the Uptown Business Association for sponsoring the event.
