10 years ago, I did a research project modelling carbon storage of trees in Karanga Plaza & Jellicoe St in Wynyard Quarter. 🌳🌴🌲We didn't include this stand of tītoki at the time, cos they were so small! Now, they're a vital shady spot. Love how the plantings here have matured. – at Auckland Central, Auckland

The perfection of summer shade from trees.
How about more of this simple solution for our housing estates?

I've just done Brisbane to Sydney and Canberra by train. The routes are long & scenic by day, but also prone to bus replacements (and no WiFi or power on NSW trainlink). Maybe look into the overnight services, or try staying in one area to reduce travel time (eg NSW)
The New Zealand city that Canberra reminds me of the most is Hamilton.
If Hamilton defined some key metro nodes like Woden and Belconnen to enable more growth, improved PT (LR even!), added some monumental institutions etc
..in a few decades in could be the capital of NZ 👀😅

It’s common wisdom that we should ban apartments that are “too small”. But it’s difficult for me to picture a moral framework that justifies banning these homes, while permitting people to live in even more cramped share houses.
