In accepting that Aotearoa is no‐longer a rural nation there are exciting possibilities for the study of urban socio‐cultural geography ‐ the effects of urbanisation on the lives ofNewZealanders. Contemporary social geographical theories have combined with postmodernism, poststructuralism, postcolonialism and feminism toproducea ‘new cultural geography’. We argue that this new cultural geography couldprovide important theoretical avenues for the development of an ‘indigenous’ New Zealand urban socio‐cultural geography.
