b'It\\u2019s only relatively recently that Auckland has begun to celebrate and treasure the beauty and potential that exists within its urban waterfronts. What we\\u2019ve achieved in Wynyard Quarter, with the transformation of industrial land into what\\u2019s becoming one of Auckland\\u2019s most liveable areas, has opened up the possibilities to Aucklanders. Yet there is so much more that can be done. Renowned British urban expert Professor Greg Clark CBE is in Auckland to lead the Water Edge 2016 symposium hosted by Panuku Development Auckland. In this, his second appearance at Auckland Conversations, Prof. Clark will moderate a discussion between four urban regeneration leaders from behind some of the world\\u2019s most successful water edges, on the movement toward waterfront regeneration. Carl Weisbrod, Chairman of the New York City Planning Commission; J\\xfcrgen Bruns-Berentelg, Chief Executive Officer of HafenCity Hamburg GmbH; Richard Brown, Executive Director of Development and Regeneration Services at Glasgow City Council; and Rita Justesen, Director of Planning and Architecture for Copenhagen City and Port Development, will discuss the theme of Living by the Water. Drawing examples from their vast water edge regeneration experiences, this expert panel will share their ideas on how water edge developments can respond to pressing housing shortages, and how to manage density and diversity, retain existing communities and welcome newcomers, and forge a shared \\u2018sense of place\\u2019.'
