Urban Wā Kāinga: Integrating and embedding Te Aranga and Kaupapa Māori into communities
Jacqueline Paul
Abstract – Tuhinga Whakarāpopoto
‘Urban’ is defined in relation to the characteristics of a town or city. ‘Wa Kainga’ in Māori is also known as a home. In a wider context papakainga is also used generally in the sense of traditionally Māori village-type living which has been integrated into more modern-day living. This research project aims to explore the potential of papakainga or wa kainga and understand how it can contribute to developing our current and future cities. How might this more sustainable model change the way we live and create that cultural shift within the built and natural environment but also people?
