About ReThinkWelly

We love Wellington, its people, places and everyday moments. ReThinkWelly is an independent, grassroots initiative exploring what the city could become.

We create concepts that help people picture new possibilities and start conversations about what matters to them. Our work currently focuses on visual concepts for spaces around the city.

Independent and open to collaboration

ReThinkWelly is independently run and unaffiliated with local councils or government organisations. We welcome ideas and perspectives from across Wellington.

Our concepts help people picture what a place or experience could be. They're starting points for conversation, not finished designs, approved plans or promises of development. We don't own the sites we feature or carry out construction.

Our role is to weave together people, place and possibility.

Where we'd like to go

Over time, we'd like to explore more ways for people to connect with Wellington's past, present and future.
