Community Development and Urban Planning in New Zealand

Crank

Crank delivers innovative transport projects focused on people and the planet. To us, this means enabling and encouraging more people to choose to take more trips by walking and cycling. Our experience delivering projects on-the-ground has shown us that each community faces a unique set of barriers to walking and cycling. We tailor what we bring to projects to meet these barriers, drawing on our skills in project management, communication, stakeholder engagement, and activation and priming event delivery. Crank was formed off the back of successful grassroots community work. In addition to our work for Council and government teams, we continue to support biking-focused community groups and events with pro bono work and charitable donations.
