Living Streets Aotearoa

Living Streets Aotearoa Inc. is the New Zealand organisation for people on foot, promoting walking-friendly communities.

Living Streets works to develop walking-friendly communities throughout New Zealand and to promote the social, environmental, health and economic benefits of walking as a means of transport and recreation.

Walking is not consistently or fully integrated into decision-making in transport, urban design, public health and community development planning.

Submissions on many policies and plans are a key activity and are made to national, local and other agencies to promote walkability and pedestrian friendly environments.

Several campaigns to improve walkability include calls to - change the legislation to make vehicle users give way to pedestrians when turning - re-signpost roads so that pedestrian exits are clearly marked Living Streets Aotearoa supports the proposed new walkway across the Auckland Harbour Bridge - Skypath.
