City centre urban design framework

This framework is a key mechanism for delivering a high quality urban environment within the city centre. It expands on the aspirations identified in the citywide urban design framework by applying the council's six urban design goals to the city centre's unique context.

These goals are for Auckland to be:

• distinctive
• compact
• connected
• sustainable
• beautiful
• human.
