    • Nervousness about possible car-freeing of the Golden Mile includes “But what about deliveries?!” Here’s a peek into what’s happening right now with urban deliveries and logistics Much of the reported consternation for Golden Mile-area retailers is about delivery drivers’ current struggles to deliver and fetch things, and the fear that this will only get worse.

    • As of 21 December 2020 DOC has opened an Otaki Forks temporary walking access track. This is good news for trampers wanting to use the Field or Waitewaewae Tracks given the road is unlikely to be open for some time (12 months has been mentioned). So where does the track go?

    • Talk Wellington
    • Here on Talk Wellington you hear a lot about building cities for people, that are accessible to all. But there’s one group we often neglect. In a thought-provoking piece, Dima Kronfeld lays down the challenge: how do we make cities accessible to the person-car hybrid, like the charming Montgomery “Lightning” McQueen?

    Dreaming of a logistical future

    • 8 Sep 2022
    • Talk Wellington
    • Looking internationally it’s clear Wellington’s delivery logistics could be improved. A lot of it comes down to that “last mile.” Improving this starts with freight distribution hubs. As Wellington car-frees larger parts of the city, we have the opportunity to rethink our logistics and delivery procedures. This could mean adjusting the times delivery vehicles are...

    What happens when a city really bans cars?

    • 20 Apr 2022
    • Talk Wellington
    • There’s lots of panicky talk in the NZ media about “banning driving” and being “anti-car.” But US streets like San Francisco’s Market Street and New York’s 14th Street have already “banned” private vehicles. So what happened next? Market Street is San Fransisco’s main road. Throughout its history, it’s been known to be bustling and even...

    Q: Is your city in chains right now? A: Depends on parking

    • 10 Nov 2022

    • It doesn’t matter how good everything else is: if your city’s wrongheaded about private car parking everything else will be in chains. But happily the converse is also true… tune in Wednesday 23rd for details! Parking of different kinds is an essential ingredient in a well-functioning city. And it can be a huge set of...

Little hyper-local neighbourhood businesses are great for 1,000 reasons so how do we let them come back? For a lovely summary of why tiny neighbourhood businessess are the best,...

    • Eye of the Fish
    • Wellington has long had an ambivalent attitude to alternative means of transport unloved in other cities - we still have trolley buses (long absent from Auckland or Christchurch), we have a cable car (NZ’s and one of the world’s few commuter vertical transporters), and the cops here seem to turn a blind eye to youths driving scooters, sidewinders or skateboards.
