Planning and transportation departments often face a seemingly impossible challenge: create vibrant, walkable places without worsening traffic or alienating drivers. How can cities meet both needs at once? 

Join Happy Cities and Mobycon as we launch our new design guide—with four tested strategies to meet the needs of drivers and build places people love.

During the webinar, our teams will introduce the core transportation challenges behind transforming communities for walkability, including what current approaches get wrong. We’ll then introduce four tested design strategies that you can apply to transform your own community for walkability and vibrancy—while also improving the efficiency of car travel.

The session will include a 45-minute presentation, followed by a moderated Q&A period.

Speakers: 

  • Houssam Elokda, Managing Principal, Happy Cities
  • Matt Pinder (P.Eng.), Senior Integrated Mobility Consultant, Mobycon

Host:

  • Emma Avery, Urban Planner & Communications Lead, Happy Cities
