2018 Urbanism New Zealand conference
Hosted by Wellington City Council and the Urban Design Forum, and guided by the Urbanism New Zealand Conference Advisory Committee, the program theme for 2018 is ‘Joining the Dots’.
The aim of the conference is to shape New Zealand’s cities and places by identifying the key issues, thereby making the connection to bring about change.
There is a conversation that appears missing in New Zealand – discussion which informs our urban settlements is not being collectively debated. Building on thought-provoking international speakers combined with the best and challenge sector leaders, the 2018 Urbanism New Zealand Conference will address the key issues from a national perspective.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Dr Elizabeth Farrelly: Sydney writer and academic
- Connal Townsend: Chief Executive, NZ Property Council
- Adrienne Young-Cooper: Chairman of the Board, Housing NZ Corporation
- Justin Lester: Mayor, Wellington City
- James Lunday: Urban Designer, Regenerate Christchurch
- Nigel McKenna: Development Director, Development Advisory Services Limited
- Patrick Reynolds: Urban Advocate
- Christina van Bohemen: President NZIA
