A leader in urban design is strongly urging the Government to consider a technique known as perimeter block when building up to 4,000 new homes on a site in Auckland's Mt Albert.
Morten Gjerde, who is a senior lecturer of urban design at Victoria University, has written an article on Newsroom.co.nz about how to best fit 4,000 homes on the old Unitec site without them becoming a bit of a slum.
