These are some of many photos taken on our day in town researching Urban Sprawl, the are examples of urban sprawl around Wellington:
This first photo was taken from Waitangi park in central town, and as the photo shows the large urban sprawl that has occurred. The houses have been developed and built higher and higher to accommodate for Wellington’s growing population.
In this second photo (look closely) and you can see a few high rise buildings, behind the large buildings you can yet again see an example of urban sprawl in Wellington. Houses built in Khandallah and Wadestown, even though it’s very hilly and hard to build on Wellington needed to expand and grow from the central Wellington. This photo was taken from outside the boat shed at the wharf.
This third photo is taken also from the wharf but looking into the centre of town. Even in town the buildings have gotten higher to accommodate for more businesses to grow in town. Though as businesses grow the houses left in town are being turned into business buildings, and some large apartment blocks.
