Hyper Local EXTRA - With Neill Gaddes

In this extra session, we continue to explore the theme of ‘Hyperlocal’. PlaceLabs’s own Rosanna Vitiello is talking to Neill Gaddes about how the local is represented in Shenzhen, China, and in Ao-tearoa as New Zealand is called in Maori.

Neill is originally from New Zealand but is now based in Shenzhen, where he co-founded SANS. SANS is a place-led agency that develops strategies for changing cities. In today’s episode, he also discusses the link between cultural signifiers and community, as well as the role of placemakers.
