What are the obstacles to building more.
How can we do that in planning, political and economic terms.
What are the standards in managing and maintaining them.
What can we do to better manage and maintain our public spaces.
Is it too late in Kakaako. Should we do more there. How.
Should we have a wrap around policy on public spaces. Where.
