  • GP Auckland Travel Guide.Docx
    GP Auckland Travel Guide Written by Alan Peng & Matthew Miles-Watson Intro: Welcome to Auckland, the City of Sails! Located on a unique geological isthmus, the city is New Zealand’s largest and most populous city. We hope that this travel guide will be a helpful tool to learn more about this vibrant and multicultural city. Venue: The Grand Prix itself will be located in the Aotea Centre, right in the heart of Auckland’s CBD. It is easily accessed from all bus/train/ferry routes, and a 10 minute walk from Britomart - the main transport station in Auckland. The judge conference will be held in the Pioneer’s Women hall, also located in the CBD. It is located just off High Street, on the corner of Courthouse Lane and Chancery street. It isn’t hard to miss if you walk down along High Street. From High Street, you will be able to see the courtyard and the Pumpkin Patch. Above it is the Pioneer Women’s hall. The above picture is a view from Chancery street facing High Street. Getting to the venue From the airport: The most convenient and cheapest option is to take the airport bus from the international or domestic terminals and stop at the Auckland Town Hall. For the conference, you can get off at the bus stop by the CTS house at 175 Queen street. You can find more information about the airbus on http://www.airbus.co.nz/ - Fares are $16 one way from the airport to town. From around town: Generally, all forms stop at various points in the central city which will be within a 10 minute walk radius of the GP Venue.

    Espaços públicos da cidade pós-consumista: a ‘alteridade’ dos enclaves comerciais de Auckland, New Zealand Public spaces in the post-consumerist city: the ‘otherness’ of Auckland’s shopping enclaves Los espacios públicos de la ciudad post-consumista: la ‘alteridad’ de los enclaves comerciales de Auckland MANFREDINI, Manfredo and RUGIK GOMEZ, Sergio School of Architecture and Planning, the University of Auckland, New Zealand Corresponding Author: MANFREDINI, Manfredo, [email protected] Public spaces in the post-consumerist city: The ‘otherness’ of Auckland’s shopping enclaves Espaços públicos da cidade pós-consumista: a ‘alteridade’ dos enclaves comerciais de Auckland, New Zealand Resumo Novos fatores recombinantes emergentes no espaço público urbano contrariam a crescente disjunção de lugares urbanos sujeitos a mercantilização e privatização. Nas cidades de baixa densidade no âmbito de quadros políticos neoliberais, esses fatores têm desenvolvido lugares peculiares de relação social: os enclaves urbanos integrados dedicados ao consumo e estilo de vida, que são a mais recente evolução dos centros comerciais. Estes enclaves são locais heterotópicos mobilizados pelo espetáculo que rapidamente incorporam as mudanças fundamentais que ocorrem nas relações entre arquitetura e vida associativa em nossa era digital pós- consumista contemporânea. O artigo discute uma análise comparativa da nova tipologia de shopping centers recentemente introduzidas em Auckland, New Zealand, explorando o importante desafio que representam para a arquitetura e design urbano na definição do futuro do espaço público. Palavras-chave: Auckland, Espaço Público, Shopping centers V COLÓQUIO INTERNACIONAL SOBRE O COMÉRCIO E CIDADE: UMA RELAÇÃO DE ORIGEM Page 1 of 19 Public spaces in the post-consumerist city: the ‘otherness’ of Auckland’s shopping enclaves Abstract New recombinant factors emerging in urban public space counteract the increasing disjunction of urban places subject to commodification and privatisation.

  • Howick Local Economic Overview 2019
    20 MARCH 20 AUCKLAND ECONOMIC OVERVIEWS HOWICK ── LOCAL BOARD ECONOMIC OVERVIEW aucklandnz.com/business a 2 | Howick Local Economic Overview 2019 2 | Document Title – even page header Contents 1 Introduction 2 People and Households 3 Skills 4 Local Economy 5 Employment Zones 6 Development trends 7 Economic Development Opportunities 8 Glossary aucklandnz.com/business 3 3 | Document Title – even page header Introduction What is local economic development ATEED’s goal is to support the creation of quality jobs for all Aucklanders and while Auckland’s economy has grown in recent years, the benefits of that growth are not distributed evenly. Local economic development brings together a range of players to build up the economic capacity of a local area and improve its economic future and quality of life for individuals, families and communities. Auckland’s economic development Auckland has a diverse economy. While central Auckland is dominated by financial, insurance and other professional services, parts of south and west Auckland have strengths in a range of manufacturing industries. In other areas, tourism is a key driver and provides a lot of local employment while there are also areas that are primarily residential where residents commute to the city centre or one of the industrial precincts for employment. The Auckland region also has a significant primary sector in the large rural areas to the north and south of the region. The Auckland Growth Monitor1 and Auckland Index2 tell the story behind Auckland’s recent economic growth. While annual GDP growth of 4.3 per cent per year over the last five years is encouraging, we want our economy to be more heavily weighted towards industries that create better quality jobs and generate export earnings.

  • Residents' Perceptions Towards Asbestos Contamination of Land And
    RESIDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS TOWARDS ASBESTOS CONTAMINATION OF LAND AND IT’S IMPACT ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY VALUES SANDY BOND University of Auckland and DAVID COOK CB Richard Ellis, New Zealand ABSTRACT Contaminated land issues have become more contentious with the introduction of environmental legislation in many western countries and the subsequent rise in the number of damage claims from land contamination that often result in litigation. This paper summarises the results of a study that focuses on residents’ perceptions towards a specific type of land contamination: asbestos contamination. In particular, the study investigates the attitudes and reactions of property owners living in a case study neighbourhood towards living on or near asbestos- contaminated land and how this might impact on property values. The results will be of particular interest to affected landowners, local authorities that have jurisdiction over the land, and valuers where compensation claims are being made against such property. Keywords: Site contamination, asbestos, stigma, property values, public opinion surveys. INTRODUCTION Contaminated land1 that represents potential hazards to human health and safety may cause property values to diminish due to the existence of "widespread public fear" and "widespread public perceptions of hazards". In relation to asbestos, opposition has arisen from property owners affected by proximity to soil 1 The term "contaminated land" as used in this paper is defined as "a site at which hazardous substances occur at concentrations above background concentrations and where assessment indicates it poses, or is likely to pose, an immediate or long-term risk to human health or the environment", (ANZECC, 1992). This definition has been widely adopted in New Zealand.
