The liveable university

 This project investigates the university as a microcosm, test case and demonstration of a liveable city (Universitas 21 Statement on Sustainability). In the context of Auckland City抯 Learning Quarter and Auckland Plans, we consider the university抯 potential to be socially responsible, pro-creative and sustainable, and thus liveable. Our working assumption is that engagement, equity and access are prerequisite to the university and must be reflected in its form as much as in its processes. Liveability thus addresses the university as ecology, that is, as an intelligent system that works � or ought to work � for the flourishing of people and the nourishing of place. We have three goals in mind:

• to build relationships with institutes and individuals concerned with sustainable urban environments elsewhere;
• to develop workshops and an interactive exhibition/symposium that engage the university community (staff, students, campus workers, alumni and public) in games of social value; and
• to construct research applications to local and international funding agencies to further develop the idea of the liveable university.
