Asylum 2023: Rethinking Our Future Neighbourhoods is out now!

Guest edited by Dr Natalie Allen and Devon Sanson from TUA, the journal published by Unitec ePress contains 12 practitioner and peer-reviewed academic articles.

We have drawn together articles that explore ways to address our social, cultural and environmental challenges, opportunities for decolonisation what embracing citizen-centric approaches to designing our neighbourhoods might look like, and how the built-environment professions might work together in new ways to deliver these wellbeing outcomes. The issue includes new, young voices, and some less-than-conventional ideas. The combination of peer-reviewed and practitioner articles asks the reader to imagine what amight be, and challenge their own preconceptions.

It was great to celebrate the launch of the journal with Unitec | Te Pūkenga at their architecture gradshow last week, along with some of the authors who attended. Thank you to Unitec for giving us this platform, and to each of the authors for making this such a great edition.

We encourage you to read and absorb the edition, and let us know what you think!
