There isn’t, but you can do it with individual households, and doing it with NZ census meshblocks isn’t going to be much worse. A place which would of course entirely infarct without its existing Transit Networks. another could have very low density parts and large parks, and then really intense concentrations of population. The Herald has been running a series over the last few weeks looking at Auckland and in todays one there is an interesting piece from Owen McShane about this topic. Thanks for signing up for news from Bike Auckland!

Along the lines of being the worlds most (or second behind LA) spread out city, low density city, car dependant city etc.

If you email me (see contact us at the top of the page) I’ll see if I can fish out the spreadsheet and email it to you. Christopher Leo, Ph.D. An interesting boost for patronage I must say! So what does all of this mean? Not to mention exciting events every few thousand years. When a neighbour won’t even walk 5 mins to the local shops they are always going to choose the car over PT for longer journeys. The myth is not as busted as you thought. He published a memoir in New Zealand Geographer in 2007, Vol. This analysis is closely related to mthe discussions on how some density is better than others: small blocks, multiple intersections, lack of barriers, etc. Source: Wikipedia, 2020. I remember as a kid hearing that Auckland was physically the same size as London, but is that true? Admin – There are some really interesting pieces in this, I will try and hold on to it for you when you get back as I think you would be interested in it.

He used this “fact” to justify why Auckland needs to “compete its motorway network” as quickly as possible. as a built-up urban area.6

Weighted density can do explicitly what admin has done intuitively – discount the rural area because of the very small part of the population that lives there.

My major at uni was GIS but I couldn’t get a job in it so I’m now retraining as a software developer. In fact, it’s true almost by definition that the New York metropolitan area has a lower density than urban Auckland, Urban areas in the United States are defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as contiguous census block groups with a population density of at least 1,000/sq mi (390/km2) with any census block groups around this core having a density of at least 500/sq mi (190/km2).

The Auckland density myth has a long and well documented history of manufacture to support a motorway agenda and totally uncritical acceptance ever afterwards.

That sounds about right Nick.

CEO, chief policy analyst and head of research Transglobal Institute for International Transport Research, Land Use Studies and Policy Discourse, Can I get my articles in The Herald now please? Your email address will not be published. It’s a question of whether “walkable neighbourhoods” are what people really want, it sounds attractive on the face of it, but in fact I prefer living in neigbourhoods full of plant life, houses with room for gardens and trees everywhere, which makes for a nice enviroment to walk around in If I want to get somewhere for some other purpose I am happy to use my car, which can also carry things that I buy The city I live in is currently like this, but the city planners want to move toward higher density.

After the multimodalists were overturned, Cumberland became head of the Auckland Regional Planning Authority in the late 1950s, at which point the influence of his point of view only increased. Overall, it seems to me that the most accurate measurement of Auckland’s population density is 2,395 people per square kilometre (in 2006). On top of that, why catch the “express” styled bus, catch the one which stops at every stop, and was ahead of us. A prime example is the Western line, with decent feeders it would able serve almost all of areas of West Auckland and the geography prevents further spread (suburbs north of swanson are excluded due to the rail line headding away from them). Like in the isthmus the density is closest to the CBD, which makes sense.

Its astounding that such a rumour could persist. The section on definitions from Wendell’s report is pasted below for convenience. It would graphically demonstrate it quite quickly. You’re right that it’s not all about density.

I think you need to be careful what your definition of density is. Sign up for updates about what's happening, and how you can be part of it. Haha, exactly. Oh and half of it’s “auto” and “formatnum” WTF they mean…. If we look within Auckland’s urban area, there’s quite a variety of population density.

Easily done – I can cite this blog and the original paper that admin has cited.

Each day this week someone has got on at Midtown, waited around in the busy traffic until we manage to get trudging up Wakefield Street following a non-flyover bus, cross Mayoral Drive, then the buzzer goes…. I think its more realistic for planers to say, what can we do to get 300 more people in this mesh block to use PT, than to say how do we raise the density up to 5,000 people per Km2. http://blog.uwinnipeg.ca/ChristopherLeo/archives/2009/02/whats_your_pref.html. Weighted density = (2395*1156623 + 32.4*146445)/1303068 = 2129/km2 so still very close to the urbanised area density.

Moreover, once rapid transit is built, it provides the opportunity to build more such neighbourhoods. Hmmm demographia… I’m always suspicious of the quality of their reasearch, but nevertheless I agree with your conclusions. South Auckland alone is bigger than that. However, as the scenic photos in the Wikipedia page for the New York Metropolitan Area suggest, that might not be a fair comparison. That might be unfair in the other direction — the Supercity is designed with the future expansion of Auckland in mind, while the US definitions are only intended for a ten-year period between censuses.
