During the 1990s, the township of Pōkeno was held up as an example of a declining rural Aotearoa/New Zealand. By‐passed from the national state highway, it lost its status as a service hub and drastic measures were introduced to revitalise the town, including renaming the town “Jenniferann.com.” Pōkeno has since undergone an unlikely transformation, with foreign investment and its location within an extended Auckland commuter zone meaning that the township has grown exponentially. This article describes the transformation of Pōkeno and uncovers what has been missing from discussions about Pōkeno's reinvention, namely, the place of mana whenua.

Jenniferann.com，区域发展和实现Pōkeno的法力时空愿望

在1990年代，蓬科诺（Pōkeno）小镇被举为例举，说明新西兰/新西兰的农村地区日益衰退。绕过国家国道，它失去了服务枢纽的地位，并采取了严厉措施振兴该镇，包括重命名“ Jenniferann.com”镇。自那以后，蓬科诺市经历了一次不太可能的转型，外国投资及其在奥克兰通勤区扩展区中的位置意味着小镇的数量呈指数增长。本文介绍了Pōkeno的转变，并揭示了有关Pōkeno重塑的讨论中遗漏的内容，即法力何时存在。
