Isn't it something that is innate in all urban environments? I'm not only an 'Auckland Resident' - I'm born and bred (Glendene Represent!) In my experience, some of the best urban creative spaces around town have been 'accidental' (if not verging on the illegal at times.) I suppose, to play the devil's advocate, that I believe communities evolve rather than being created, or perhaps more accurately, they appear when and where the environment allows. Our goal should not be to create the community, but to create a suitable environment in which one can emerge. How much of this milieu is unconscious?
