The Great Transport Race
Presented by Monash Association of Planning Students (MAPS)
Want to work out how to get off congested roads and travel faster? This urban racing competition promotes using public and active transport to arrive on time, while also giving you an adrenaline rush with your mates! Starting at Parliament Station, you need to get to CERES Community Environment Park in Brunswick East in the quickest time possible without using a car. There will be a mystery stop-off along the way (to be notified of the location on the day), and a quick quiz question or challenge related to urbanism at each location. We’ll finish with a networking/social event and coffee at CERES Community Environment Park. There are prizes for the fastest group and the top quiz score. Sign up as an individual or group, if you think you have what it takes.
MAPS is the student association for the Master of Urban Planning and Design course at Monash Art, Design and Architecture.
This event is part of the Festival of Urbanism – a series of talks and conversations on planning and making our cities and regions. Brought to you by the Henry Halloran Trust with the assistance of the University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning, in partnership with Urban Planning and Design at Monash Art, Design and Architecture.
