Can we supercharge urban development to create Christchurch as a more affordable, low carbon, compact city? This speaker event demystifies new requirements for the future of urban development.
New requirements in our planning regulations aim to maximise the benefits of intensification by enabling more multi-storey housing and easier access to everyday places via public transport, on foot or by bike.
But what exactly has changed and what could it mean for our urban and major suburban centres?
This event will introduce you to the new requirements and tools enacted by the new National Policy Statement on Urban Development and help us all understand what effect it might have in Ōtautahi and Greater Christchurch.
This is an opportunity to consider what outcomes the policy aims to achieve, the challenges and opportunities, and to gauge public and professional reactions.
The event is being held in Tūranga and will also be available online via Zoom. Please register at Humanitix.
This event is part of Te Pūtahi’s Occasional Series and is made possible by the support of the Transportation Group, Urban Design forum and NZ Planning Institute.
All are welcome.
