New Zealand's national paper, the Sunday Star-Times, is embarking on a project to find out what Kiwiana has evolved into and how it encapsulates the values of our diverse, innovative 21st century nation.

Join us as we explore what Kiwi culture looks like in neighbourhoods across the country. In the coming weeks, you'll notice a few posts about Kiwi innovations popping up across Neighbourly - we'd love for you engage and let us know what innovations and innovators you think need profiling!
