In Conversation with Heather Thompson and ITDP Board Member Janette Sadik-Khan

As part of ITDP’s 40th anniversary in 2025, we sat down with Janette Sadik-Khan, former New York City Transportation Commissioner, ITDP’s Board Vice President, and a global advocate for people-first cities. In this conversation, she talked with ITDP CEO Heather Thompson and reflects on the transformation of New York’s streets, the power of collaboration, and the future of sustainable urban mobility. ITDP is now a global organization working at the forefront of transport innovation, using technical expertise, direct advocacy, and policy guidance to mitigate the impacts of climate change, improve air quality, and support more prosperous cities.
