Nau mai haere mai…..welcome to Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington
The 2024 biennial 2WALKandCYCLE conference will be held in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, New Zealand.
Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington has a vibrant, compact centre city - making for an easy stroll between conference venues, accommodation, museums, galleries, restaurants and cafes. The Capital is home to three universities, Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington, Massey University, and University of Otago.
Wellington has been rolling out change in partnership with our Te Tiriti o Waitangi partners, giving new life to hidden awa and sites of significance as we install transitional walk, bike and bus improvements.
It’s this collaborative mahi and ambitious plan to deliver a 166km network of safe and connected bike routes, alongside improvements for walking and public transport that has gained the city a place in the prestigious Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure. New pedestrian crossings, including many raised crossings, are also being installed to help make walking in Wellington easier, safer and better.
Wellington is New Zealand’s most accessible and walkable city, with over 60% of residents living within 15 minutes’ walk of amenities, and the highest rate of public transport use in New Zealand. Once the bike network is complete, 155,000 Wellingtonians will live within 5 minutes’ ride of their local connection.
