Sounds good to me Nelson, can we please get this in Christchurch as well?
The idea is that the city will build upwards, rather than outwards
Yeah an absolute bolt from the blue, how can New Zealand ever prepare for the sudden and unprecedented invasion of multistory buildings.
Saw a comment on my local councils post of someone worried that the Tauranga CBD would look like Shanghai in a fews years “at the rate they’re going”.
Some of the most popular, picturesque tourist spots and residential locales in the world make NZs “high density” plans look laughably wasteful in comparison, and people are still tearing their hair out about it.
This is such a long fucking time coming. The only land left in Nelson to build on is steep hills, or productive land out past Richmond (and actually Tasman District Council at that point anyway). This has been needed for ages.
Stack em deep and sell em expensive
Trying to turn Nelson into the Gold Coast!? Just hope they build well back from the coastline…
Yep. It’s down to those details. There’s no question about whether it should happen or not, just how exactly will it happen.
