Street Typologies for People and Nature
Resolve competing demands on street space.
Streets must accommodate movement, utilities, water and trees while functioning as places for people.
The Urbanist worked with Auckland Council to develop and facilitate overarching street-design principles across agencies and developers, examining opportunities and constraints through design thinking.
The value
A shared basis for considering canopy trees and stormwater management alongside other infrastructure needs.
The work explores street typologies that can support shade, walking and cycling, biodiversity and water management. These are design objectives, with benefits dependent on implementation and site conditions.
