Notes
- Our planning to date has not focused on creating places, and urban design has tended to take a back seat, with a strong focus on engineering solutions and car-based environments.
- The amenity that people value in many international cities (e.g. Barcelona, Paris, Stockholm) can become part of the Auckland and Manukau environment.
- This would require careful planning, urban design, and balancing the needs of people and creation of quality places, while recognising the ongoing need for both public transport and private vehicles.
