Our latest conversation unpacks the draft government policy statement's inclination towards road building and its ramifications on sustainable transport and local economies. Alexa, with a keen eye on the future, lays out her vision for infrastructure that cuts our private vehicle dependency and eases congestion in bustling areas like Queenstown. Amidst the backdrop of scenic New Zealand, we probe the tension between ambitious tourism and the urgent strides needed for climate action, giving a platform to community-led transport projects as harbingers of change.Thanks for listening to The Outlet.
