Hei Puāwaitanga: Research Group for Future generations, Sustainability and Civic Imagination is a multidisciplinary international research team and 'civics-lab', at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand.
The 21st century is the century of the city. By 2050, seven in ten people will live in an urbanizing area. Against this dynamic background, the research team, led by Professor Bronwyn Hayward, investigates citizenship and civic governance, participation and democratic urbanization, with a particular focus on sustainability and issues for children and future generations.
Hei Puāwaitanga, to flourish and live well into the future is a vision that inspires our collective research. Our aim is to identify, understand and strengthen the long term conditions of intergenerational justice that enable communities to flourish in the context of environmental, social and economic change.
