The Hamilton Study

E-mail

In the first semester of 1989, the Community Design Studio was invited by the Hamilton City Council to prepare a Town Revitalisation Study for Hamilton City. Over a period of three months students engaged in exhaustive consultation with the community, hosting several exhibitions and design workshops at prominent city locations. The result was a Comprehensive Development Plan, included and detailed in the 250 page Hamilton Report. The guidelines developed in the study formed the basis for the eventual development of the Hamilton CBD and the riverside with a great many of the design principles included and integrated into the Council's District Scheme. Significantly, they drew attention, for the first time, to major cultural issues concerning Maori wahi tapu that might be integrated creatively into the District Scfheme. The status and development of the Waikato River environment played a major role in these recommendations.

A downloadable PDF of this project will be available here soon.

What People Say

Pepi Leistyna

Thanks for forwarding this to me; it's a really great review, not just in the sense that it's supportive, but it really situates the book within the issues and the issues within the book. It's obvious that you have a fine command of this material and I'm glad to now be aware of your Webpage and will turn my students on to it.

Peter McLaren

Great article Tony! And what a terrific website! A wonderful job bringing together themes and issues of importance to critical educators everywhere. There is much to offer social justice educators from a variety of fields. Well done, companero.(Peter Mclaren)

Philip Wexler

I am in awe of your energy, diligence and resilience, and beyond that, astuteness and resoluteness in maintaining a critical stance. Those are a lot of paper(s) to work through. Thanks also for reading my paper carefully. I worried, that with a critical stance, you mighy be impatient with my reaching back into the classical tradition in social theory, and especially Weber, whom we don't usually think of as critical. But, you grasped my point precisely and encouraged me about the value of such less than obvious sorts of critical work. Good on you, if that is the appropriate term. Thanks for your work and, as someone once said to me, in passing, many years ago, Don't lose your critical edge."

Best wishes, Philip

Noah de Lissovoy

A colleague sent me a blog mentioning me which you had graciously responded to offering your website as a resource on critical pedagogy. Just wanted to thank you for the work you've put into this admirable decoding of the critical end of things...(Ira Shor )

Antonia Darder

This is a great resource! I will definitely... pass on the information to others. (Antonia Darder )

Peter Mayo

This is a superb resource which forges links between important areas -architecture, sociology and critical education. I shall certainly share this with colleagues/students, friends and family members starting with my daughter who is an architect. It is also a brilliant teaching tool.
