Preventing sprawl and concentrating future urban growth at transit centres, typifies
many urban planning strategies in a number of Australian, New Zealand and North
America cities. Newer iterations of these strategies also argue that compact
development delivers public benefits by enhancing urban ‘liveability’ through good
urban design outcomes. Where neoliberal economic conditions prevail, achieving
these aims is largely dependent on market-driven development actions requiring the
appropriate urban planning responses to ensure these outcomes. However, there
are growing concerns that urban planning approaches currently used are not
effectively delivering the quality urban design outcomes expected and enhancing
residents’ liveability. This paper reports on an evaluation of three medium density
housing developments located in areas designated for intensification in Auckland,
New Zealand. Examined is the extent to which the development outcomes are
aligned with the statutory urban planning requirements for quality urban design.
The results indicated contradictions and points to limitations of the statutory
planning system to positively influence quality outcomes, leading to enhanced
residents’ experiences.
