Fantastic new history on New Zealand’s towns and cities - authors on @SaturdayRNZ right now!
Amazing kōrero about #infrastructure and #homes and the Māori city 🤓😎 urban nerd bonanza
Great question about #housingaffordability, just frustrating to hear people equating small homes w bad homes - loose language so unhelpful . Great course-correction from Jane Higgins: affordable and liveable and beautiful are absolutely doable and straightforward. We got this.
Phew, here's the facts 👇, and agree it's just really disappointing from @NZStuff wanting to be "the news" of our capital city. Perhaps symptomatic of the current editorial bent but this is pretty shameful.

Extremely impressive work from KiwiRail yesterday to clear the track and reopen the line so we could get our Metlink trains running again the same day. Much respect and thanks to all the workers who were out there moving debris and completing the checks to make things safe.
#RailNews: KiwiRail has shared a photo of some of the flooding the Wellington region experienced yesterday.
The photo was taken yesterday morning at the slip site just south of Paekākāriki.
Fantastic stuff right now on @SaturdayRNZ about how cities thrive (vs survive) and how to use music! including the vital night time life. We need to make cities we want to live in *all of the time* including night time, but also when there’s not a formal gig/concert on

It can seem a bit superficial in the face of bigger issues, but I think local, street-level design and policy choices are among the most important decisions we can make.

Cool study on the positive psychological effects of sidewalk murals. Local governments seeking low-hanging fruit to improve citizen well-being should ensure funding for public art and placemaking - a cost-effective urban health intervention. #neurourbanism

I also miss when driving was easy and you could happily drift over the centre lane, instantly killing yourself and several other people
