Hi Isaac, Sorry about this, we forgot to add the email link. This has been rectified, so just send us an email at urbiscomps@agm.co.nz to go in the draw. Thanks!
You're right Luke. Yesterday I went to an informal talk by Ludo Campbell-Reid, who explained this all a lot better and really did get me very excited about the direction the city is heading in. Which probably goes to show it is often the way ideas are presented. I didn't get much of a sense of a design-first approach from Harvey, although this is obviously the case, and Ludo definitely pushed this. I plan to write a bit more about this, because it is truly exciting what the council has in development, and especially how they really do seem committed to placing design as a central instigator of change.
Sorry Bobby, I forgot to add the email link. Email us at urbiscomps.co.nz to go into the draw. Good luck. Thanks, Nicole
