Cyclone Gabrielle - Our hearts go out to all of the people who continue to be affected by these extreme weather events. We acknowledge all of ways in which communities have come together in support of each other. We also hope that these events will further catalyse the exploration of how our built environments need to change to work better within our natural environments.
Take a look at one of our previous webinars where our Committee Co-chair Stu Farrant explored a number of examples of urban water transformations across the world that could be relevant for Aotearoa to consider.
