A free, day long public hui to discuss "what is a decolonised city?" Colonisation has shaped the form of New Zealand towns and cities in ways that mean that Māori identities and values have often been side-lined. Yet, our cities have always been indigenous places, so how could urban environments better reflect this? This symposium marks the end of a public urban design competition that invites publlic input on this question - www.idcities.co.nz. Details of an exhibition and prizegiving on the evening of 13 May to follow. Nau mai, haere mai. All are welcome
