Join us for “Walkable Westport” on Tuesday, June 4, at the Bedford Middle School Auditorium. 

6:00 – 6:30 p.m. Welcome Reception

6:30 p.m. Lecture

Sustainable Westport, along with several community partners, is excited to bring world-renowned Urban Planner and Author Jeff Speck to Westport for an evening of education, inspiration, and dialogue. Jeff will share his perspective on how Westport could be more walkable, bikeable, and environmentally and economically sustainable. Drawing from his extensive experience and firsthand observations of Westport, he will provide recommendations on short and long-term opportunities to not only reduce traffic but create a safe environment for pedestrians and cyclists. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with your neighbors and contribute to the future of Westport.

WHO IS JEFF SPECK?

Jeff has dedicated his career to advocating for and implementing sustainable urban design practices across the country. He is the author of Walkable City, a best-selling city-planning title, and the co-author of Suburban Nation, which the Wall Street Journal calls “the urbanist’s bible.” His TED Talks “The Walkable City” and “4 Ways to Make a City More Walkable” have been viewed millions of times. Jeff did a similar, incredibly well-received presentation this year in New Canaan.

We are looking forward to bringing Jeff’s expertise to Westport!
