'Forward to the past'. This is internationally recognised architect and urban planner, Tim Stonor's (Space-syntax, UK) view of where urban design, transport planning, land use economics and environmental engineering needs to head.

He has been working with us on our masterplan using a science-based, human-centric approach to make sure Auranga has the greatest potential to create economic resilience in the local area. 

He talks to Radio New Zealand's Nine to Noon host, Kathryn Ryan about the challenges of creating a brand new town and the science behind getting it right.
