Let's take a moment to celebrate what we have in Aotearoa New Zealand: a peaceful, safe and largely prosperous nation where indigenous Maori culture can be celebrated, and the benefits that each culture that is newer to this land - English, Asian, Pacifica and so on - have brought to this country can be acknowledged.

Questionnaire developed as part of a Summer Research Scholarship project undertaken at VUW. The survey is accessible through the QR code in the pdf and through the link below and will only take 5-10 minutes to complete. Thank you!!
vuw.qualtrics.com...

Some background information:
A 20-minute city (or neighbourhood) is one where most of your essential amenities are accessible within a 15-20-minute walk or easy bike ride of your home, with a wider range of services and workplaces connected via well connected public transport routes. It encourages people to live locally and invest in their neighbourhood as well as the wider city. Moreover, this could help reduce the number of short car journeys people take.

To ensure there are enough people to support a range of amenities and public transport, the concept encourages increased density and mixed-use buildings in and around neighbourhood centres, with density decreasing as we move further out. This density change helps ensure there can be diverse accommodation options within a single neighbourhood, giving more people the opportunity to live there.

Your participation will support this research by helping us to better understand the current ways that people in New Zealand use their immediate neighbourhood, and their individual perceptions of that neighbourhood. As well as helping us to identify what changes could be made to improve our neighbourhoods and how people’s patterns of movement might be affected.

This research has been approved by the Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington Human Ethics Committee #30072.
