Mayor Bob Harvey, 2 March, 7-9 PM
"Taking the eco-city to the supercity – inclusive leadership for Auckland and New Zealand"
There’s one job that will make or break the Auckland supercity. It’s not getting the roads or water sorted. Even setting the rates pales in comparison. The biggest challenge facing Auckland is creating an identity.
Out west, there’s a template for how to do it. In the last 17 years, Waitakere has carved out an identity as a strong and sustainable eco-city, full of proud ‘Westies’. Its Mayor Bob Harvey will talk about the challenges and triumphs of creating a sense of self in a diverse community. He will argue that supercity Auckland needs some soul. It needs to go west.
