The Make/Shift Space “What if Whakatū Nelson…?” was open at 263 Hardy Street between 13 November and 17 December.

It was a space where the public could engage with ideas for how to create a vibrant, liveable city.

As the weeks progressed the space evolved with posters, displays, ideas and interactive exhibits.

It hosted 62 presenters, 29 talks and generated almost 300 ideas to help revitalise the central city and beyond.
