Community Conversations
Each month we hold a community conversation on a topic related to sustainability in our region. How could we reimagine our cities a thriving place where all citizens can have their basic needs met while doing our part to stay within planetary boundaries? We support active transport including walking, cycling, and public transport as essential parts of sustainable transport. Many of our members have a keen interest in how we can do development better to manage the increasing population in our region.
