There are still a few places available for this one-day design jam. Attendees will enable greater regenerative (living systems) thinking in our urban developments and placemaking and projects to more closely align with te ao Māori tikanga, and the health of our places to sustain us in the long term.

The themes for dialogue are Urban, Health, Landscape, Housing and Infrastructure. eke Panuku, Kāinga Ora, NZ Health and Mercy Hospital, and a number of industry consultants are registered.

Co-curator Jerome Partington says the event is an opportunity for individuals, teams and stakeholders to get together, to grow understanding, deepen relationships and find greater potential in their work and projects, beyond the traditional carbon and green building approach.

Johnnie Freeland – Whakapapa Design
Bill Reed, USA – Partnering with Nature
Dr Amanda Yates – Mauri Ora Compass tool for urban regeneration
