...blurb...

Through this work I wanted to highlight the problem of cultural segregation in Auckland.

Each region is elevated according to the size of its population. Each colour of Fibre Optic string represents a different predominant cultural group, arranged according to the percentage of population in each region, based on official statistics.

As a multi cultural person who has experienced this segregation, I think it is vital for the development of Auckland as an influential, united city that strong links between the diffrent groups of people are developed. Starting from the way we plan our city to the way we interact with people of other cultures. I believe a move into this way of thinking needs to be done now, before Auckland becomes a divided heterogeneous metropolis.
