Christine teaches sustainable transport to Resource and
Environmental Planning students and supervises postgraduate
research on a range of sustainability topics related to transport.
As a local government specialist, she is particularly interested in
planning for and implementation of sustainability by local
government and grasping the nettle of integration of land-use
and transport planning. This has stimulated her interest in
fostering a new approach to collaborative working by council
planners and university researchers. ‘Co-production’ of research
has been the focus of the Massey University Living Lab in which
she has been involved for several years with Palmerston North
City Council planners.
