Exploring the 'Shadow City'
Jun 02, 2022 6:00 PM
Exploring the 'Shadow City': new archaeological discoveries made during the work Kainga Ora have undertaken recently and how this adds to our understanding of the history of the wider area. Dr Hans-Dieter Bader I work as a consultant throughout New Zealand, together with Dr Janice Adamson through Archaeology Solutions Ltd. I am mainly a field archaeologist doing the regulatory work, exploration, excavation and GIS and feature / find analysis. Understanding the ancient landscape, how people reacted and lived within, changed their environment, or got changed by their environment are my main interests. Using remote sensing methods and bringing all data together in a GIS is essential for landscape archaeology. I’m coming from Southwest Germany and since childhood I was interested in archaeology and history of the area I grew up in. Becoming an archaeologist progressed naturally from this early interest. The interest in using modern survey technology stemmed from a few years serving in the German army between high school and university. My first professional excavation was in 1984 and I have been working in Aotearoa since 1994. |

Sustainable cities and the effect on Tamaki Makarau
Nov 10, 2022 6:00 PM
Professors Erica Hinckson and Scott Duncan will present on Sustainable cities and the effect on Tamaki Makarau Professor Erica Hinckson (PhD) is the Head of the School of Sport and Recreation and Associate Dean AUT-Millennium at the Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences at Auckland University of Technology. Areas of expertise include the measurement and classification of physical activity, programme design and evaluation, curriculum-based health and wellbeing interventions for children, and determining the effects of the built environment and daily mobility on health outcomes. He is particularly interested in engaging children in healthy lifestyles through traditional unstructured play and independent mobility. Current research includes several large-scale lifestyle interventions in school, community, and workplace settings. An executive member of the Global Healthy and Sustainable City-Indicators Collaboration (https://cur.org.au/project/project-global-healthy-and-sustainable-city-indicators-collaboration/) for the identification and measurement of health-related policy and spatial indicators in cities worldwide. An outcome of this collaboration is the 2022 The Lancet-Global Health five article Series (https://www.thelancet.com/series/urban-design-2022) and the Global Healthy and Sustainable Cities Observatory (https://www.healthysustainablecities.org/) which houses scorecards and reports for each city with the vision to include 1000 cities. A professor with expertise in physical activity, built environment, and citizen science research. Currently, a project leader in an ~8mil MBIE grant (2020), Te Hotonga Hapori-Connecting Communities: Enhancing the impact of major urban regeneration on community wellbeing. Taking a shared leadership approach as per Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles and supported by key external partners, the team developed a Centre Of Research Excellence application, Te Kākano-Centre for wellbeing through physical activity and sport by mobilising the academic, sport, recreation, health and other sectors https://vimeo.com/289375276. Erica Hinckson, Professor of Physical Activity and the Environment at AUT and contributing author of the study, says the availability and quality of urban planning and transport policies supporting health and sustainability in Auckland is ‘below average’ compared to other cities in the international study. “Our research shows that Tāmaki Makaurau does not appear to have urban planning and transport policies incorporating health-focused actions and air pollution management, or housing density and street connectivity standards,” says Hinckson. Professor Scott Duncan (PhD) is the Head of the Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity Department in the School of Sport and Recreation, AUT University.
