Designed to disrupt: A digital tool for urban regeneration

The National Science Challenges are government funded initiatives that are designed to set strategic goals for creating a better Aotearoa. The 11 challenges cover topics ranging from childhood education to ageing and nutrition to ecology.

Researchers in the architecture, urbanism and design fields from universities around the country are working on the Building Better Homes, Towns and Cities National Science Challenge, which seeks answers to questions like: how can Māori design principles be better represented in our built environment?
