Overview

One of the beautiful things about living in the inner city is that you really don't need a car. Fundamental amenities are within a foot's pace and any other goodies - friends, parties and shows - tend to be within the grasp of public transport.

So why are there so many damn cars choking our town?

Reclaiming the Lanes is an effort to stop the clock and remind everyone that the world was a wonderful place before the Model T. Communities condense when their reach falls into walking distance, and this is exactly what will happen to Newtown on Saturday 13th. Expect mobile music factories, roving minstrels, dancing neighbours, lots of smiles and NO CARS.

To get involved, gather at the Hub from 2pm and reconnect with the secret laneways of the inner west.
