"Cities are already changing"

This short film illustrates how cities are already serving as agents of change, fostering innovation to build resilient, biodiverse urban systems that prioritize non-human and human wellbeing.

Launched at Aotearoa New Zealand’s Architecture & Design Film Festival the film introduces Ngā Tohu Mauri Ora, a wellbeing-centered compass designed to guide transitions toward zero-carbon, regenerative, and community-focused cities.

By documenting these real-world examples of resilient change, the film aims to inspire and accelerate further local action toward urban wellbeing.
