The inspiring and active Ellen Young is Managing Director of Paper Road: Connecting Community and Place.
Based in Whanganui, with her unique previous ‘placemaking’ experience at Whanganui District Council, Ellen is now in a position to lead and advise community co-design processes with local councils in our regions.
Her discussion highlights the advocacy processes with councils and communities in activating vital street and public place urban design schemes.
There is much to learn here from her philosophical, yet feet on the ground, knowledge of these important contemporary works.
