No full textUrban Seascaping: Seaweed as a catalyst for urban shoreline transformation in the age of the Anthropocene
No full textThis article offers an introduction to a research project, "Urban Seascaping" (USS), which re-envisions the boundary between city and sea in response to the phenomenon of sea-level rise and frequent storm surge in the age of the Anthropocene. USS seeks to reconceptualise the current business-as-usual waterfront developments and coastal protection by investigating an unexplored solution space of embracing the agency of the sea and its coastal ecosystems as a key driver in the transformation of urban shorelines. With a focus on the coastal regions of Denmark, the research seeks to induce critical trans-disciplinary discussions on the limitations of a "hard approach" to coastal protection dominated by defence-driven mechanical handling of water. Moreover, the research highlights the current lack of marine nature-based "soft approach" in the waterfront area as part of coastal protection strategies. The project proposes a new form of urban commons in the waterfront, particularly exploring the full spectrum of coastal ecosystems using seaweed as a representative of a marine nature-based solution to enhance coastal resilience. The key is to depart from the current dualistic relationship between nature and culture to a more hybrid, interconnected and dynamic zone by incorporating coastal ecosystems as an active part of the socio-cultural cityscape and future resilience

No full textUrban waterways, water sensitive urban design, and the law: A help or a hindrance? A focus on urban stormwater
No full textTraditional urban stormwater management systems have paid little attention to environmental needs. Water sensitive urban design is a low impact development approach to planning and engineering that provides significantly better environmental outcomes, but its uptake has been slow in New Zealand. In 2020, the New Zealand Government released a new National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management. This placed Te Mana o Te Wai - the good health of waterways - at the heart of freshwater planning. This article describes the pre-2020 urban stormwater planning and management approach and critically discusses the new approach, concluding that significant opportunities to improve urban stormwater management have been missed. The argument is supported by a detailed consideration of urban stormwater plans in Auckland and Christchurch

Managing biodiversity in the Waikato region, Aotearoa New Zealand
No full textA case study approach using discourse analysis of key planning documents is used to describe and review mechanisms used in 2020 by the Waikato Regional Council to manage biodiversity in the Waikato region, Aotearoa New Zealand. It sets out two proposed national-level tools that will change how biodiversity is managed in Aotearoa New Zealand. The case study assesses Waikato Regional Council planning documents against the Aichi Global Biodiversity Convention Targets. It also identifies a number of important barriers to better management of biodiversity in the Waikato region and outlines how these barriers could be addressed. The research was undertaken in the first six months of 2020 and provides a snapshot of the state of play at that time before the Aotearoa New Zealand Biodiversity Strategy 2020 was finalised.It was found that the Waikato Regional Council appears to be well positioned to meet the Aichi Biodiversity Convention Goals. However, realisation of the Aichi goals through on-the-ground implementation is likely to be compromised due to a lack of adequate funding for both planning and implementation at the district level. Transparent targets or measures of success also threaten to compromise good implementation. Options for addressing these barriers include an increase in funding for district-level planning and implementation, plus strengthening alignment of existing planning tools (such as the Waikato Regional Plan) and measures of success with the Draft National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity and the draft New Zealand Biodiversity Strategy
