The New Zealand Footprint Project

Spiral Tree

Footprinting Urban Form and New Zealand Lifestyle

Kia Ora and welcome.

The New Zealand Footprint Project will explore the resource requirements of New Zealand communities. It will ask questions that have never been investigated before regarding the amount of land we require for our community infrastructure and support our lifestyle decisions. New Zealand communities and the people within them vary depending on their history, location and socio-economic backgrounds; the Project hopes to understand these differences in more detail.

Finally the project will ask communities to reflect and discus the resources they currently depend on. We will explore resource trends and the effects of resource scarcity on their community in open community forums. The outcomes from these forums have potential to impact the future planning and strategic direction of these communities.

We welcome you to take part.
