Half the world lives in cities and the best cities are those that plan CBD’s to suit the people rather than vehicles. Hot- shot cities around the world have plazas and malls, lets make Wellington a hot shot city too by transforming parts of Lambton Quay, Manners Street and Courtenay Place into pedestrian malls.

These are some of the points made by Sir Bob Jones at a recent NZ Property Council event held at Te Papa . And you know, the more he said the better it sounded. Imagine a skating rink in the middle of Courtenay Place (roller in Summer – ice in Winter), a vibrant cafe culture, central commercial sites along Lambton Quay and best of all……no buses!
