Bypassing central Wellington | |
In mid-2007, Wellington's Inner City Bypass project was completed. Half transport solution, half urban renewal, the project completes a process that started as an original grand concept in the 1960s and a project half finished in the 1970s. This case study looks at the historical context of the project and examines critical aspects of both its physical engineering and urban planning and resource management considerations. |
