What makes a world-class city, and how does Wellington become one?

The saying goes that you can’t beat Wellington on a good day. Our city’s challenge is to make the capital unbeatable as a place to live, work and visit for 365 days a year.

This provocative, stimulating and uplifting conversation, moderated by award-winning journalist Paddy Gower we talked about what makes a city thrive and what Wellington needs to do to transform itself into a flourishing modern metropolis.

This was the first of number of Vision For Wellington panel conversations, intended to feed into the development of a vision for our city – created with the people of Wellington – designed to drive its future success.
