Parks, open spaces and the public realm

This section provides best practice guidance for our parks, spaces and public realm so that they can support the mental and physical health of our communities by providing places for activities, recreation, interaction and connection. 

Tactical Urbanism Initiatives (TUI)

Looking down St Paul's street in downtown Auckland, there are cylindrical concrete planters with native plants like Renga Renga and pōkākā, alongside large wooden planters with Pohutukawa on new pavement where the road used to be. Bike rails fashioned into fun wavy shapes are interspersed through the boxes. The AUT visual arts building is in the background.
