Once there was land beneath these city foundations sustaining complex environmental systems. In practice we might grapple with this by way of site coverage, stormwater management, landscaping or cultural memory, but these are just starting points. The land after all extends well beyond the typically defined ‘site’. With this months Melting Moments we explore some of these complex connections across the whenua and discuss the implementation of effective place based solutions.
Think of it a bit like a practice group, with kōrero led by a range of professionals engaged with different aspects of the event subject.
Brought to you by the Wellington branch of Te Kahui Whaihanga covering issues and ideas special to our region.
