Join us for a half-day hackathon on urban form concepts with Greater Christchurch Partnership.
The Greater Christchurch Partnership is developing a new spatial plan for Christchurch and its surrounding towns with everyone that has an interest in the area. The Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan will describe the kind of place we want for our future generations and how we balance growth, the environment, our economy, and the wellbeing of our communities.
The Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan is the first step in implementing Greater Christchurch 2050 – a strategy to deliver intergenerational wellbeing for the people and place of Greater Christchurch.
Share your idea’s, feedback, knowledge on the proposed urban form concepts for the greater Christchurch region during a half-day hackathon. Specialists from the Greater Christchurch partnership will facilitate this session where we are asking you to evaluate the proposed urban form concepts and their implications.
