Join Central Branch for a thought-provoking panel discussion on how transport models shape our cities and infrastructure – and their role in an increasingly uncertain world. Modellers and non-modellers are welcome – this event is for everyone.
Date: Wednesday 6 November
Time: 12 – 1pm
Venue: Two/FiftySeven, 2/57 Willis Street, Wellington
Hear from our experts as branch chair Peter Cockrem hosts a panel with:
- Nadine Dodge, Principal Economist at the Infrastructure Commission Te Waihanga
- Vida Christeller, Manager City Design at Wellington City Council
- Andrew Ford, Team Leader Data & Analysis at Greater Wellington Regional Council
- Tobie Pretorius, Principal Transport Planner at Tonkin + Taylor
Our expert panel will explore:
- the nature of models: we all have ideas about cause and effect
- “what if” modelling: the limitations of decision-making based on models of incremental change
- “how can we” modelling: using the strengths of models to create a better future in an increasingly uncertain world
Don’t miss this opportunity to network with your peers and engage in a critical conversation.
Who should attend:
- Transport professionals
- Urban planners
- Policymakers
- Anyone interested in how ideas and institutions shape urban outcomes
Tea, coffee and nibbles provided.
