Pipitea Marae's refurbished landscape is the result of a close working relationship between iwi and landscape architects. It demonstrates how the discipline can contribute to enhancing cultural connections to landscapes in urban environments. Particular strengths of the project are the careful attention to detail given the tight budget and time frame, and a particularly well-considered planting strategy. Ponga embankments and flourishing perimeter planting create a lively and diverse setting for community activities on this significant urban marae.
