Despite our agrarian mythology, Aotearoa New Zealand is overwhelmingly a country of urban dwellers.

Urban Aotearoa: The Future for Our Cities takes a critical look at the evolution of New Zealand's cities. Moving past the country's rural image, the book addresses the realities of its urban majority, questioning suburban spread and exploring options for smarter living.

A range of contributors provide insights that span housing trends, Māori urban development, Pacific design, climate action, and more. This BWB Text is a straightforward look at how cities work and how they can change for every New Zealander interested in the future of our urban spaces.
