Back to the Promenade
- WellUrban
- After being closed for reconstruction for most of the year, the Tug Wharf Promenade at Kumutoto reopened this morning. Apart from new lighting and seats, the main feature is a new bridge, supported by a "Cradle" at one end and a "Crane Tower" at the other.

Waterfront Promenade Re-Opens
- Wellington's Waterfront
- The northern waterfront promenade between Shed 5 and the old Eastbourne Ferry Terminal is to re-open from 9am on Thursday 29 November. The promenade, to be given a Maori blessing earlier that morning by the Wellington Tenths Trust, has been closed since February while the new Meridian building and surrounding public spaces were under construction.

Waterfront fatigue
- WellUrban
- No doubt many of you have had your fill of waterfront posts, but there was a slew of ill-informed letters to the editor in today's Dominion Post that I felt compelled to reply to. There are too many specific errors and misinterpretations to fit into in a 200-word rant, and I thought I'd try to tone down some of my usual vitriol, so I tried to offer a constructive discussion of why good public space design is more subtle and complex than just leaving as much empty space as possible.
