City Development
Wellington is changing - the threats of climate change, a growing population, and changing ways of work, leisure, and travel, means that the city must change to adapt to these needs. This is not only so that Wellington City continues to do justice to its current residents, but so that it becomes a city of the future: one that has a thriving culture and opportunities, and is a welcoming space for all.
Our City Tomorrow
Our City Tomorrow is a Wellington City Council initiative which focuses on forward-thinking solutions to today’s problems. The issues facing Wellington as we moved into the future, such as the projected population growth, sustainability, resilience, transport and infrastructure requirements, are by no means small, so you could say Our City Tomorrow has a mammoth task ahead of it. This is just the start and we’ll do our best to keep you up to date.
We know as interested and engaged Wellingtonians you’ll likely be keen to see the feedback from the discussions held so far. Check out the OCT website for this.
