A city centre remembers what it was for

A library, a museum, a public square and a waterfront that finally faces the water it is named after. The construction hoardings have been up long enough that a generation of local kids will have no memory of the streets before them.

Cities get one or two chances a century to decide what their middle is for. This is Tauranga's.
