In this episode, we speak to Patrick Reynolds, Deputy Chair of the Auckland City Centre Advisory Panel, Director of Greater Auckland, and former board member of Waka Kotahi NZTA. Patrick is popularly known for his architectural photography and celebrated for his active role in urban issues especially transport in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
Patrick talks about the origin of the Auckland city centre and the role of transport in shaping our economic and cultural centre from the mid twentieth century until now. He explains that there is a critical difference between a central business district and a true city centre.
His advice to mayors and ministers is that we have begun doing many of the right things, but we need to do more to make Auckland’s economic and cultural centre internationally competitive.

Eke Panuku is advancing the practice of deconstructing, rather than demolishing, buildings and infrastructure in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland. “Deconstruction” sees materials repurposed for other projects – reducing the financial and environmental costs of both waste to landfill and new materials production. The benefits of the Eke Panuku approach are broad and surprising, while the costs are comparable to traditional demolish and dump approaches.
This episode of A City of Neighbourhoods interviews Kristen Webster and Duncan Munroe who are corporate responsibility experts within Eke Panuku. Kristen and Duncan explain why deconstruction should be the first option considered when it’s time to remove old buildings and infrastructure. -
