Industry Leaders - Urban Cable Cars in Aotearoa: Unlocking Mobility for Sustainable Public Transport

What if the fastest, cleanest way to move people across New Zealand’s cities has been hiding in plain sight?

Around the world, cable car systems are transforming urban mobility - cutting congestion, reducing emissions, and connecting communities previously locked out by geography.As Doppelmayr marks 50 years in Aotearoa with a landmark report revealing billions in potential economic impact, industry attention is turning toward aerial mobility as a serious, scalable solution.

Join us for an exclusive Mountain Club conversation with CEO, Garreth Hayman, a leading voice in urban cable car development, as we explore how ropeway technology could reshape transport, tourism, and city design across the country.

What We’ll Dive Into:

• The $1B+ opportunity: How global ropeway systems are delivering economic uplift -and what it means for NZ cities.
• Urban mobility unlocked: Why aerial transport solves problems that buses, trains, and roads cannot.
• Case studies that matter: International cities using cable cars to cut congestion, emissions, and travel times.
• Feasibility for Aotearoa: Where cable car networks could realistically land first - and why now.
• Beyond transport: Property value uplift, tourism integration, and urban design implications.

This is not just a discussion about transport - it’s a conversation about the future shape of our cities.

Get inspired by global thinking applied to local challenges, and see how innovation can move us forward.
