Vancouver-based writer and journalist Charles Montgomery is a critic of what he calls anti-social planning.

Charles Montgomery is the author of Happy City and is speaking next week at the New Zealand Planning Institute 2015 Conference, 'Back to the Future' in Auckland, and at an Auckland Conversations event.
