    The University of Auckland School of Architecture and Planning Doing Medium Density Well 3 FAST FORWARD 2019 AUTUMN LECTURE AND DISCUSSION SERIES ARCHITECTURE // URBAN DESIGN // URBAN PLANNING // Image: Austin Maynard Architects Image: Austin >>12.03 FAST FORWARD Fast Forward is the bi-annual lecture series hosted by the School of Architecture and Planning. It aims to foster debate, discussion and development within the disciplines of architecture, urban design and urban planning. This semester we continue our focus on the question: how can we do medium density well? With the 2016 Unitary Plan supporting an increase in the density and height of terraced housing and apartments, Auckland has decided to grow up. But how can we do it well while ensuring quality? From March to May we offer a series of talks and discussions to support the public and profession in effecting decent medium density design for Auckland housing. >>12.03 >>19.03 6.30PM TUESDAY 12 MARCH ENGINEERING 401:401 Co-housing Catch-Up Global interest in cooperative housing is on the rise and proving popular in Europe. As a result, an increasing number of individuals are working together to develop dwellings tailored to their own needs. Co-housing outsmarts traditional development methods by allowing for a fine-tuning of specific household structures and site characteristics, producing more viable and sustainable neighbourhoods. Architect Thom Gill will provide an update on the groundbreaking Grey Lynn project, Cohaus. Thom will share the progress of the 20-unit apartment project and explain how particular projects have been managed. Greer O’Donnell of The Urban Advisory will also discuss her involvement with this and other co-housing schemes.

  • Councillors' Office
    Councillors’ Office 31 May 2021 Shane Ellison Chief Executive Officer Auckland Transport Adrienne Young-Cooper Chair of the Board Auckland Transport CC: Jim Stabback, Chief Executive, Auckland Council Tēna kōrua, It has been brought to our attention that there may be ethical issues associated with the acquisition of a fleet of new electric buses by Auckland Transport. On 25 May 2021, Auckland councillors received an email from an organisation called Uyghur Solidarity Aotearoa NZ requesting we confirm that Auckland Council has no involvement with companies using unethical labour practices. The email was prompted by media articles linking Chinese company CRRC, who manufacture electric buses and diesel trains, with alleged forced labour. International media reports and academic research indicate that forced labour is a part of the oppression of the ethnic and religious minority Uyghur people in Xinjiang. The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) found CRRC was one of 82 companies "potentially directly or indirectly benefiting from the use of Uyghur workers outside Xinjiang through abusive labour transfer programmes". Having ordered 98 electric buses from CRRC, Greater Wellington Regional Council is now investigating whether the claims of forced labour are valid; whether the council completed proper due diligence; and whether their code of conduct for suppliers adequately addresses human rights abuses. Included in Auckland Council’s Long-Term Plan (2021-2031), is a $152 million climate package which aims to move 50 per cent of Auckland’s bus fleet to zero emissions by 2030. We recently received confirmation from Auckland Transport’s Decarbonisation Manager that some of the new fleet of electric buses which will be purchased from CRRC.
