dc.description.abstract |
Auckland is a city divided by economic inequality.1 Prosperity from rapid economic growth is unevenly distributed, resulting in issues of social exclusion and isolation amongst neighbouring communities. Auckland Council’s Southern Initiative outlines a long-term plan to promote transformational social, economic and physical change in South Auckland, where significant socio-economic deprivation and neighbourhood deterioration is endemic.2 This thesis investigates a systemsbased approach to neighbourhood regeneration in the context of South Auckland with the intention of catalysing long-term community health for individual neighbourhoods and the wider district. Key learnings from an analysis of literature around urban and suburban regeneration, design for social change and community health and wellbeing are distilled into a set of key criteria for healthy communities. These are tested against best practice urban and architectural precedents to confirm their validity. Papakura, South Auckland, is identified as a case study site for intervention. Industry is introduced across three historically neglected neighbourhoods as a systems-based solution to the systemic issues of economic inequality. The design process is guided by the criteria for community health, working across scales to connect macro urban thinking with micro everyday concepts of the neighbourhood and the home. At the macro scale the criteria guide a process of analysis and conceptual neighbourhood planning. Specific architectural interventions act as catalysts to encourage social and economic growth. The success of interventions is measured against the criteria for community health. ‘Bridging the Gap: Neighbourhood Regeneration in South Auckland’ investigates how design across varied scales, within the context of historically neglected neighbourhoods, can impact the identity and future of a community. It argues that through connectivity of systemic interventions, neighbourhood regeneration can achieve wider overarching positive health outcomes. Empowering residents, creating a sense of belonging, providing access to opportunity and upward mobility to catalyse social change and achieve equity for South Auckland communities. |
