Auckland Region VillageTown

Within 2 hours of Auckland Airport

What is a VillageTown?

It takes a village to raise the child, but it takes a town to keep businesses profitable. So build a cluster of villages to form a VillageTown that provides the critical mass to support a local economy. People work in the village, not a bedroom community. Keep the cars out in the motorpool, everything is within a 10-minute walk. Make it culturally and socially enriched. Retain permanent affordable housing. Surround it with a greenbelt that includes an industrial park. Build for up to 10,000 people, up to 20 village clusters, providing a fulfilling, wonderful place for all ages and stages of life, where all - home, work, shops, schools, cafés and recreation is within a ten-minute walk.
