This week Oliver interviews Skye Duncan, a fellow Kiwi who has gone on to lead the Global Designing Cities Initiative at the National Association of City Transportation Officials. Skye is a wealth of knowledge about how infrastructure and space allocation decisions get made on streets around the world, and how micromobility can impacts those habitats to achieve transport outcomes. It was a great conversation - they both really enjoyed this conversation and hope you do too.

Specifically they dig into:

* Skye’s background and journey from New Zealand, via Columbia and working with Mayor Bloomberg to heading the Global Designing Cities Initiative at NACTO. 

* What the Global Design Guide for Cities is trying to achieve.

* What micromobility/electric bikes/scooters offer to cities around the world, and how this intersects with he growth in urban populations that we’re seeing.

* Why the problem of parking, and parking entitlement, are such a big issue.

* What micromobility operators should be thinking about when talking to city planners and contextualising micromobility in the transport mix.

* how Skye encourages advocates of new micromobility vehicles to discuss them and their infrastructure.
