“Good regional form” is the third focus of the strategy. The councils in the Wellington region, in conjunction with other key partners, work on delivering on this goal.
Good regional form means ensuring the physical arrangement of urban and rural communities are linked together by strong city and town centres. Well-integrated transport systems, good quality urban design, and a network of open spaces and recreational amenities are all things that contribute to our quality of life.
There are economic spin-offs from having well-configured cities. For example, there are direct correlations between allowing higher density housing near city centres and increases in productivity. Less time spent travelling means more time for work and leisure.
