FFWD016: Auckland Mayoral Debate

The University of Auckland School of Architecture and Planning’s annual guest lecture series, Fast Forward, aims to foster debate, discussion and development within the disciplines of architecture, urban planning and urban design. There will be six events taking place from July to October 2016.

Wednesday 7 September: 
Auckland Mayoral Debate
Mayoral Candidates Discuss the Future of Auckland

Fisher and Paykel Appliances Auditorium, Level 0, Owen G Glenn Building, The University of Auckland, 12 Grafton Road, 6.30pm

Urban design, housing density and affordability, and urban growth management are key issues facing Auckland this local body election year. They are likely to remain so for the next several years, and cannot be discussed without also considering infrastructure in general, and transportation in particular. All are critical issues, in need of active and robust debate.

This session, to be chaired by journalist, broadcaster and commentator Rod Oram, brings together the leading mayoral candidates ahead of the 2016 election. The candidates will be in conversation on urban issues, detailing their vision for Auckland and its future.

All lectures start at 6.30pm, are free and open to the public.

Fast Forward 2016 is supported by GIB and sponsored by the NZIA, The Warren Trust, Te Pūtahi and The University of Auckland Society.
