Creating contemporary city streets in Hobart!

Come along for a lively conversation about the future of our city streets. What could Hobart’s streets look like if we designed them for people, community and thriving local businesses? We are hosting a panel discussion to unpack some of the hot topics! How do we make streets welcoming and accessible for everyone? Why do bike lanes spark such strong reactions? And how do we create positive change in Hobart? Bring your questions and your opinions, or just sit back and listen. Let’s talk Hobart streets!
