In the next of the City Talks lecture series, researcher Rebecca Kiddle explores the spaces and places that community is built in New Zealand.

Rebecca Kiddle is a lecturer at Victoria University of Wellington’s architecture school.

As part of the research programme Building Better Homes, Towns and Cities, Becky is leading a project called Where Do We Dance? with dance being the metaphor for socialising, making friends and building community. The project asks where does community physically happen in Aotearoa New Zealand. The suburbs are seemingly the spatial underdog of our towns and cities. How might we improve the way we design and plan our built environments to better serve the making of communities.

Join the NZIA Wellington Branch on 19 August from 6pm at City Gallery Wellington to hear the talk, with refreshments provided following. This is a free event. Find out more at nzia.co.nz.

City Talks is an ongoing series initiated by the New Zealand Institute of Architects Wellington Branch and presented in partnership with City Gallery Wellington. Its purpose is to foster discussion about architecture for a broader audience in a city that cares to openly discuss ideas relevant to our future.
