Drivers of urban change in New Zealand

This project aims to identify and analyse important drivers of urban change in New Zealand. We draw on central and local government documents, statistical data, and interviews with key decision-makers in 5 urban areas (Auckland, Wellington Region, Christchurch, Hamilton and Dunedin), as well as a web-based public survey, and the latest urban research.
