    Abstract
    RESEARCH QUESTION: How can open spaces in a developing city be preserved and enhanced? ABSTRACT: Open spaces in urban areas provide multiple and diverse functions such as the contribution to the preservation of biodiversity, the reconciliation of people and nature, as well as promoting the health and well-being of the population (Joana de Sa, October 2013). The presence of an open space can improve a view and provide a venue for active or passive recreation. Urban restoration and new developments without vision for an open space could destroy this unique relationship. Locating open space carefully in relation to buildings, can reduce the apparent density of urban clusters. “Auckland is one of the most liveable cities in the world, with its unique urban-nature relationship and high-quality lifestyle. Auckland is facing the challenges of increasing population and ongoing urban growth”. (Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development, 2014) A suggestion to develop Unitec campus is an example of the pressure being created by future population growth. The Unitec campus at Mt Albert is proposing a mix of residential, business, tertiary education and activities on the Wairaka precinct. This research project aims to investigate and design the open spaces in what was a proposed redevelopment of the Unitec campus by Wairaka Land Company. 9.1. Final Site Design 112 9.2.
