This has resulted in congestion and more than 40% of the city's carbon emissions coming from transport. These are two of the biggest challenges facing the city, and can only be addressed by transformational change...
    The city's other major challenge is for more and intensified housing to stop sprawl".  Phil Goff, Mayor of Auckland - 28 Jan 2022

    "Our largest city needs a linked-up rapid transit transport network that will serve Aucklanders into the future, making it faster to move through the city, connecting communities, providing greater access to businesses, all while reducing congestion".  Michael Wood, Minister of Transport - 28 Jan 2022

    Repeated studies have shown bus congestion from the main isthmus arterial roads into the CBD is nearing gridlock, and upzoning under the Unitary Plan will allow much more intensive housing along those routes, such as Dominion Rd. Add to that, thousands of additional homes coming in the redevelopment of Housing New Zealand's blocks in Mount Roskill, and Māngere.
