Abstract
Urbanization has been a regular feature of demographic and environmental change in New Zealand for over 70 years. Urban design and development are fundamental processes in this trend, accounting for population densification as well as erosion of mature ecosystrems. In Auckland, urban development has resulted in a 30% loss of green space, and continues to present significant challenges for preserving natural and cultural heritage. This pictorial uses Te Pātaka Art Trail as a case study in pluriversal design research. Following Escobar (2018), this project provided the opportunity to rethink community in relation to urban development pressures in the city. Public art and place activations over 3-months engaged communities in varied ways with experiencing the natural and cultural heritage of the site, facilitating (ontological) communal transitions "from development to the pluriverse" by realised the role of history, creativity and the land in the (re)shaping of our worlds.
