Why Does This Street Feel Amazing (And That One Doesn't)? Decoding Boulder with The Happy Urbanist

What makes a city feel alive? Why do some streets invite you to slow down and enjoy, while others induce stress? And what could Boulder do, right now, to become even more of the city we all love? 

Join us for an unforgettable evening with Jon Jon Wesolowski, known to millions as The Happy Urbanist, as he answers these questions and more with his signature blend of street-level storytelling and strategic problem-solving to Boulder.

Jon Jon has traveled the world with his family, studying firsthand what makes cities not just livable, but genuinely delightful. His TikTok videos (on his own channel and with Strong Towns) have earned over 10 million likes and 430,000 followers because he has a rare gift: he makes you see your own city with completely fresh eyes.

We'll enjoy a conversation about the places we love, the streets we avoid, and the small design choices that make an enormous difference in how happy, and how connected, a city feels. Plus, we'll feature activities hosted by key Transportation Connections partners to keep the ideas flowing through our Business After Hours networking happy hour.

You'll walk away with:

• A new way of seeing Boulder's streets, neighborhoods, and public spaces
• Insight into what the world's most beloved cities do differently
• Ideas and inspiration you can actually use, whether you're a city planner, a business owner, a commuter, or simply someone who loves this city

It's an evening of big ideas, great conversation, and fun activities, with delicious food and a cash bar!

Thanks to the City of Boulder, Via Mobility Services, and Hyatt Place Boulder for making this event possible.
