Ted McCoy Lecture Series - Architecture and Memory Joseph Hampton

This years Ted McCoy Lecture is presented by Warren and Mahoney Principal Joseph Hampton and will be in Ōtepoti Dunedin and Tāhuna Queenstown.

In an age of intense competition for talent, investment and visitors, how can our cities remain both relevant and true to themselves?
