To this end a distinction made by Anne Querrien in “The Metropolis and the Capital” (1986) is followed. Urban place, she argued, can be divided between “two different ethical principles” and “two different modes of human distribution” (Querrien 1986: 219). The metropolis exerts a “common measure on the regions”, acting as a conduit bringing different milieux into contact (Querrien 1986: 219). Contrary to the metropolis, whose primary motive is to maintain networks, the capital operates as a nucleus rigorously coordinating and constraining regions. This account shares much with Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s (1987) characterisation of State and town solutions. While both striate space, they do so divergently: States utilise resonance and stratification to better police and filter the networks of towns; towns operate principally as conduit- makers polarising value/matter in pursuit of a phylum or field of flow (Deleuze & Guattari 1987: 432-433). -

WATERFRONT AUCKLAND : a Heritage Study | 1
The Auckland Waterfront Heritage Study PREPARED FOR Waterfront Auckland 11045 | October 2011 CONTENTS PAGE INTRODUCTION 1 HERITAGE STUDY 3 APPENDICES 19 1 Chronology 19 2 Bibliography 40 3 Maps and Plans 46 4 Auckland Waterfront Plans 50 - Maori Cultural Landscape - European Cultural Landscape – Eastern Waterfront - European Cultural Landscape – Central Business District - European Cultural Landscape – Western Waterfront - Port Development 5 Historic Images 56 Introduction Waterfront Auckland (An Auckland Council Organisation) has commissioned Salmond Reed Architects (SRA) to undertake research as the foundation for a heritage trail within their administrative area. This area extends from Teal Park in the east to Point Erin Park in the west and is bounded by Tamaki Drive, The Strand, Parnell Rise, Beach Road, Customs Street, Fanshawe Street, Halsey Street, Victoria Street West, Beaumont Street, State Highway 1, Sarsfield Street and Curran Street, Herne Bay. (as illustrated below) A number of heritage walks have already been produced by the former Auckland City Council, including walks for Ponsonby, Downtown, Midtown, Uptown, Original Foreshore, Princes Street University Quarter. In addition, a University heritage trail was produced by the University of Auckland Business School. It is anticipated that this report will form the basis of a waterfront heritage trail publication in the same hand-held format used for the existing walks. The study sits within a broader framework established by the former Auckland City Council before the Supercity amalgamation of 2010. Its publication: The Historic Landscape, Guidelines to a New Approach, outlines a methodology based on emerging national and international best practice to consider a holistic landscape view of heritage, rather than the current segmented and discipline-based view of individual heritage resources, which groups them into categories such as geology, archaeological sites, sites of significance to Maori, trees, ecological sites and buildings and structures. -
