In the United States, I’d probably name Oregon City, the famous end of the Oregon Trail and the first city founded west of the Rocky Mountains during the pioneer era. Its population is only 37,000.

    Huh, so it does. It looks like it shouldn’t at first, my bad.

    Have you had any luck with the urban sprawl? We’ve brought in a bunch of urban densification stuff recently in Canada, and NZ was cited as an example to follow.

      Auckland is the definition of sprawl.

      A bunch of laws were past on the last few years to combat it, but we find see the effects for decades to come.

        I remember going to Auckland in the 90s and being amazed how low everything was considering it’s size. Wellington was vertical. Auckland was horizontal.

        At least, that’s how it felt.
