Welcome to the Auckland Co-design Lab.
We help nurture conditions for equity and intergenerational wellbeing in Aotearoa.
We experiment with collaborative, participatory, and place-based ways of working. As a learning, innovation and capability-focused initiative, we help build the capacity and readiness of the public sector to work differently.
We are a unique collaboration between local and central government, and are supported by government agencies and the Auckland Council. The Lab works in partnership with The Southern & Western Initiative, a place-based socio-economic transformation unit in South and West Auckland.
Our aim is for whānau and communities to lead and have ownership of effective responses to complex issues. The Lab helps to build, model and promote social infrastructure and ways of working that enable this.
Together we work alongside whānau, ‘aiga, mana whenua, mataawaka, businesses, government, community, philanthropy and other system partners to understand and foster the conditions for equity and intergenerational wellbeing.
