Bypassing central Wellington

In mid-2007, Wellington's Inner City Bypass project was completed. Half transport solution, half urban renewal, the project completes a process that started as an original grand concept in the 1960s and a project half finished in the 1970s. This case study looks at the historical context of the project and examines critical aspects of both its physical engineering and urban planning and resource management considerations.

Focus points include: Additional Material:

Nature of Technology

  • Historical positioning and sociocultural influences

Planning for Practice

  • Stakeholder and environmental considerations; ongoing critical evaluation and efficient and appropriate documentation
