Small urban landscapes, from the suburban to the compact urban. In the era of the global, consumption and land prices and mass transit and starchitecture make big cities bigger. Small urban is a compelling alternative, a mindset that connects the local to the global. Especially in Aotearoa New Zealand with its network of small urban landscapes. Networks of the small urban in cities, towns and villages offer a refreshing sensibility for a challenging future. Join us in Wellington in 2017 for a conversation on the small urban.
