As relative newcomers to Tāmaki Makaurau, the COX Auckland studio presents a forward-looking, bold urban design provocation for Aotearoa’s largest city. This concept directly tackles the housing crisis by unlocking underutilised public land and transforming it into vibrant urban fabric. The proposal integrates structural innovation, high-quality public realm, and landscape architecture to serve both the community and the economy. This session is about rethinking how city infrastructure can be designed with a deep respect for People, Place, and culture, sparking meaningful conversation on creating well-connected, commercially viable developments that meet the city’s urgent needs.
