All alumni and friends of the University of Waikato are invited to a networking reception, followed by an address by Prof Bob Evans.

Professor Bob Evans has come to the University of Waikato from the UK where he was Professor and Director of the Sustainable Cities Research Institute at Northumbria University. He is the new Professor of Environmental Planning, and is concerned at the way in which New Zealand, like the world’s other prosperous economies, is continuing to pursue economic growth despite the long-term dangers inherent in this.

He is currently working with the Cawthron Institute in Nelson on a project investigating soft infrastructure for sustainable development. This is an evaluation of the processes of community learning about sustainability in collaboration with local governments.

In this address, Professor Evans will argue that environmental planning in New Zealand and elsewhere, needs to be guided by principals of equity and sustainability.
