After work, I like to go to the beach for a swim or create some art. 

Today, I’ve completed this painting.

4.00pm  

I have a Thrive meeting with my team leader to discuss my professional goals and how I feel I am progressing towards them. This is a good environment to be able to discuss any new ideas I may have on the work that I want to be doing or outlining new goals I want to achieve.

I start my day in the office working on various flood models and design projects. I am currently working on a major flooding event, analysing what has happened and how to mitigate the impact of these events in the future at the design stage

1.00pm  

I go conduct culvert inspections all throughout the Auckland region to ensure that the assets are performing as they should. I then report my findings to the Stormwater Asset Manager and fill out requests for proposals based on the renewal/maintenance work required.

“So be still now. Wrap your hills around our absence. Loosen the concrete belt cinched tight at your waist.

Rest. Breathe. Recover.
Heal – And we will do the same.”

Essentially our built form needs to drastically reduce vehicle movements. It demands the down-scaled vehicle fleet is electrified, and internal combustion engines are rapidly phased out.

We’ve largely sleepwalked ourselves  into the current high-carbon, mobile-energy system, but it’s not looking like the same laissez-faire approach will get us out. Perhaps by reflecting on lessons from lockdown and thinking systemically across the many moving parts in our towns and cities, we might emerge into a more stable, slower, urban model deliberately designed to fit the planet.

An urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and adapt to climate change: the impacts of climate change are already affecting where people live and how we use our environment. Our land and resource use patterns need to change to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change, and we need a resource management system that supports New Zealand’s commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 

Climate change

Urban areas are struggling to keep pace with population growth: poorly managed urban growth has led to increasing difficulty in providing affordable housing, worsening traffic congestion, greater pollution, and reduced productivity.

When it comes to transport, it’s not really about transport. It’s much more about the assemblage of social and cultural support systems that we (individuals, collectives, and market systems) bring about. Specifically, land use and built form: what we do where, for how long, and how these activities can adapt to inevitable motion and change across the short and long term. Transport included.

In the context of the current challenges in Aotearoa, this demands rapid implementation of the spatial and strategic, carbon and climate planning outlined by the Resource Management Review Panel.

“People always said it wasn’t possible. To ground flights and stay home and stop our habits of consumption.

But it was. It always was.
We were just afraid of how much
it was going to hurt.”

We know transport is a significant emissions challenge for Aotearoa, and for many of us who want to effect change, the sheer scale of the problem can feel overwhelming. However, as we find our feet in a post COVID world, we know we have the boldness to address the previously unimaginable.
