The New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects (NZILA) awarded Te Wānanga – The Downtown Programme, delivered by Auckland Council and Auckland Transport in partnership with mana whenua, the George Malcolm Supreme Award, recognising the most outstanding achievement in landscape design. The award was presented to Isthmus Group for the extraordinary new civic space extending over the city centre’s harbour edge.
