Auckland's Future Development: to sprawl or not to sprawl? w/ Angela Dalton 14 June 2023

Currently out for consultation is Auckland's Future Development Strategy which sets out how the city should grow. Alex Bonham spoke to Councillor Angela Dalton, the Deputy Chair of the Planning, Environment and Parks Committee about how the proposed compact city strategy will reduce carbon emissions, shift development away from good soils and areas vulnerable to inundation, align investment on infrastructure, transport and housing so as to be most cost-effective and make the city more walkable, cyclable and vibrant at the same time. Anyone can give feedback at https://akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/future-development-strategy until 4th July.
