WALKING CITY

TRANSIT CITY
Christchurchs introduction to rail dates back to 1863, the opening of Ferrymead to Moorhouse Avenue railway was New Zealands first public steam railway. Steam engines and horse driven trams transformed the once walking city of Christchurch to a transit city. This consequentially pushed the boundaries of the cities further outwards, reaching approximately 10km wide.

AUTOMOBILE CITY
The introduction of private automobiles in the 1950s again transformed the city and replaced what was a popular public transportation system. Currently, Christchurch has reached out to become roughly 30km wide, which is associated to suburban sprawl. The existing transport network favours people who drive their personal cars. We now have the opportunity to again transform the city through innovation, and address the changing demands of our society.

UTION EVOL OF SIZE CITY

The early settlement of the city embraced the necesity of walking as the main mode of transport. Christchurch was founded in November 1847, and was based on towns in England, where landowners, small farmers, workers, shops, a school were located around a central square with a church. The plan of Christchurch at the time consists of the characteristics of a walking city, with longest distance spanning 3 kilometres. It was the early planning that lead to the dominant mono-centric form, which is characteristic of most walking cities.
