We know that this will not only reduce the encroachment of the city ever further outwards, protecting the natural environment and the productive horticultural land that we rely upon for food production. We also know that within city, it will free up land for shared spaces because we'll be using the other land more efficiently—things like parks. It'll also enable lower-carbon lifestyles as it's easier for people to get to their jobs, to their businesses, and to essential community services, and yet the ACT Party opposes it—and they're still carping on the other side as if their position is in one iota justifiable, which it is not. This is going to bring new housing in existing neighbourhoods. It'll help link people into their existing services and networks, and help them stay connected with their friends and family. It'll bring vibrancy and new economic opportunities as we regenerate our urban areas for more inclusive cities as we grow.
