Green Drinks Canberra August 2024: designing for people not the car
Tuesday, August 6, 3:30am - 6:30am (EDT)
Our guest speaker for this August 2024 event is Lucy Gramenz from Greater Canberra.
Designing for people not the car: How denser housing could boost Canberra’s climate action
By 2030, the transport sector is expected to be Australia's largest source of emissions. While electric vehicles are often touted as a silver bullet, they alone won't solve the problem. What if the solution could be found in our own backyards? What if we started designing our cities for people rather than cars? Join us to learn how thoughtful city design can reduce car dominance and enhance public and active transport.
Lucy Gramenz moved to Canberra as a graduate and was lucky enough to find a rental where everything was a walk or ride away, and all kinds of birds were her neighbours. Lucy joined Greater Canberra as everyone should have access to a walkable green city.
