The Branch AGM will follow with a presentation from Professor Simon Kingham on the (possible) impacts of future transport technologies on planning in Christchurch.

There are a number of transport technologies and innovations that could shape our cities in the future in all sort of interesting ways. Some could have unintended consequences, both good and bad. In this talk some of these will be looked at and considered in the context of Christchurch and what this might mean for the planning profession.


Bio: Simon Kingham is Professor of Geography at the University of Canterbury, where he has been for the past twenty years since he arrived from the UK. Since early 2018, he has been seconded to the Ministry of Transport two days a week as their Chief Science Advisor

We look forward to your attendance and participation.
