Living Streets Aotearoa
Lessons from Te Araroa

Celia was Mayor of Wellington for six years and a Councillor for 14 years. Born in London, UK, she has travelled extensively in Europe, Asia and the Pacific.
Celia co-founded Walk Wellington in 1998 and Living Streets Aotearoa in 2002. She walks, cycles, catches buses and trains, drives and kayaks. She believes walking is a miracle remedy: the glue that binds communities, the lubricant for physical activity, the source of public transport users and the balm for troubled minds. In 2017 she walked the length of New Zealand on Te Araroa.
