Spring Lecture Series (SLS 2010) Ecological Urbanism - a prospectus for the super city

The upcoming Spring Lecture Series organised by the NZ Institute of Landscape Architects (NZILA) will be thought provoking events that will spark constructive debate amongst our members, and associated professionals as well. In the past this SLS has been a highly attended event full of ideas, and topical issues. This year's theme encompasses questions about 'carrying capacity', hot topics including changes that the new Auckland Council, and what the 'Super City' will bring for the city and wider landscape as well as our profession.
