ABSTRACT

Ian will discuss the key factors in the sustainable development of Wellington’s waterfront and how it reflects the city’s culture, heritage and personality. He will also present a case study of the thinking, planning and execution of the Waitangi precinct development – a dramatic marriage of practicality and imagination.
