Cities for People – Janette Sadik-Khan

Former New York City Department of Transportation commissioner, Janette Sadik-Khan will share her expertise on sustainable public transportation in New York City. Janette has lead on many innovative projects such as the creation of Broadway Boulevard, installation of 23 plazas, the addition of more than 285 miles of on-street bike lanes, car-free summer streets, weekend pedestrian walks and creating more durable and attractive streets.

She has received numerous international accolades for her contribution to public service and transportation.

The Human Scale
