NZPI Annual Conference 2023
Hīkina te Mānuka – Rise Up to the Challenges
The New Zealand Planning Institute (NZPI) invites planners and allied professionals to the NZPI conference in Ōtautahi – Christchurch. The conference will consider how we can best rise up to the challenges, whether past, present or new, that we face in our environment, for our founding and increasingly diverse communities and future generations in ways which meet our common values and different needs. It will explore the role that planners and policy-makers play in identifying how we can achieve transformative change, consider what factors are fundamental to making that a success and whether we have the knowledge and skills necessary.
