The purpose of the SustainableCity Strategy is to ensure linkage between the Council goalsin the Long Term Plan, the work of individual units within theCouncil and the Council’s aspiration for Palmerston North tobecome a sustainable city. The strategy identifies key driversthat impact on environmental, economic and socialdevelopment in the city.Strategy FrameworkIdentify Outcomes& Focus AreasUrban Design Strategy Other StrategiesTranslate Strategyto ActionCOUNCIL VISIONvibrant | caring | innovative | sustainable cityUDS InitiativesCity Centre FrameworkManawatū RiverMaster PlanStreet Design ManualPlacemakingStructure PlansDistrict PlanDesign CriteriaDelivering ChangeUrban Design ToolsSustainable City StrategyOther StrategicInitiativesThe Urban Design Strategy is a significant component of theSustainable City Strategy.

The CCFtranslates strategy outcomes into a cohesive vision that will beprioritised and funded through Long Term Plans, andintegrated into asset management.The CCF provides the context and illustrates relationships forcity centre developments based on the built environment, theopen spaces, and streets. These are termed the Key Elements.The CCF also outlines Key Directions for how public investmentis undertaken and describes catalyst actions.5DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH [ introduction ]

ContextBethesda Lane in Bethesda, USAThree factors underlie the approach to developing the city centre.These are working with the human dimension, treating the city centreas a destination, and focusing on emotional attachment to a place.The SensoryExperienceThe human dimension is the universal starting point to buildcities for people. Building a city that caters to people is themost efficient and low cost investment a city can make tomeet four goals – a lively, safe, healthy and sustainable city. Theelements that are consistent starting point for design are thatpeople “have walking, a sensory apparatus, movementoperations, and behavior patterns in common.” 2 These factorshave often been neglected at the expense of good conditionsfor people to engage in city life. With the overwhelmingpressure to develop cities to accommodate traffic the humandimension has often been of secondary importance. In future,understanding and working with these human elements atthe earliest stages of design will be a pre-requisite for citycentre development.Colourful planting and a dynamic sculpture, Main Street West7DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH [ Context ]2Jan Gehl – Cities for People p229

What Makes a Great Place?8DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH [ Context ]©2005 Project for Public Spaces, Inc.

Building the City Centreto be a DestinationThe second factor is to build the city centre around a series of‘places’. Application of the “Power of Ten” concept from Projectfor Public Spaces 3 provides a simple mental model to illustratehow to create a vital and engaging city centre. This conceptframes the city centre as a destination. Within a destinationthere needs to be 10 or more great places, and at each placethere needs to 10 or more things to do or reasons to be there.The “What makes a great place” diagram is also used as a modelfor holistic thinking about creating places. Project for PublicSpaces provide this definition of placemaking:“Placemaking is a multi-facetedapproach to the planning, design andmanagement of public spaces. Putsimply, it involves looking at, listeningto, and asking questions of the peoplewho live, work and play in a particularspace, to discover their needs andaspirations. This information is then usedto create a common vision for that place.The vision can evolve quickly into animplementation strategy, beginning withsmall-scale, do-able improvements thatcan immediately bring benefits to publicspaces and the people who use them.”The Placemaking initiative from the Urban Design Strategyallows Council officers to engage and work on all scales ofdevelopment in the city centre, to simultaneously work on thelong-term and short-term, and most importantly the hardwareand software of a place. This is achieved by face-to-face andongoing interactions that build relationships and allow anongoing conversation to take place with stakeholders in thecity centre.Recent examples of placemaking in Palmerston North arethe creation of Little Cuba 4 , the transformation of car parksto parklets for people on George Street, and the chessboard and bistro style chairs and tables by the ButterflyPond in The Square.Giant chess set in The SquareLovethe CityThe final factor is to cultivate emotional attachment to the citycentre. Emotional attachment matters because a high level ofcommunity attachment is correlated with stronger localeconomic performance 5 . A city’s most attached residents havepride in their city, a positive outlook for their city’s future, and asense that they fit in the place. These people are less likely toleave than less-attached people. The three factors which driveemotional attachment to place are:• Social offerings – places to meet each other and a feelingthat people in the community care about each other.• Aesthetics - the physical beauty of a place, including theavailability of parks and open spaces.• Openness – how welcoming the community is todifferent types of people, including families with youngchildren, minorities, and talented university graduates.The city centre is where all three of these factors come togetherand where a lack of any of them are most conspicuous andderided, and when they are present are enjoyed andcelebrated. Future investment in the city centre will be valuedand undertaken with a clear knowledge of why qualitydevelopment is critical to the future of Palmerston North. Inessence, a focus on emotional attachment to the city shouldcreate a virtuous cycle where people love the city and in turnmake it an even better place.3 www.pps.org4 The intersection of George Street , Taonui Street, and Cuba Street5 www.soulofthecommunity.org9DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH [ Context ]

Streets for PeopleVisionTo provide a balance for all streetusers and aesthetics, puttingpeople first in the city centreBackgroundThe Urban Design Strategy makes reference to drivers, changesto be made, and urban design initiatives. These highlight theimportance of our street network 1 within the city centre. Notonly do streets serve as important movement corridors forvehicles, public transport, cyclists and pedestrians, but alsoplay a crucial role in creating a vibrant, caring, innovative andsustainable city centre.Movement andPlace ApproachThe CCF establishes a street network based on a movement/place approach to categorisation.The movement/place categorisation of streets within citycentres is internationally recognised. This approach can shiftthe emphasis of the roading network being solely focused on‘movement’ to give greater recognition that streets are a keycomponent of the public realm and a major influence on theeconomic viability of city centre streets.Place Streets• A destination for people dayand night - residential/retail/commerce/entertainment, oractivities such as meeting,resting, people watching.• Pedestrian priority and responseto the urban context takesclear precedence overvehicular movement.• Vehicular activity largelydestination orientated, notthrough route oriented.• Streets which have highpedestrian use, or connectto such streets.• Opportunity to increasepedestrian amenity throughprovision of more pedestrianpriority space.• Active edges, multiple buildingdevelopment opportunities andfine grain built form suitablefor a range of activities.• Character, human scale,and human speed.• Low traffic volumes and speeds.Movement/Place Streets• Provide important city centrewidemovement and placefunctions for pedestrians.• Active edges and a rangeof uses, the majority of whichare pedestrian-based(e.g. retail, offices, dining,and entertainment).• Key passenger transport function.• High volumes of pedestrianand/or vehicular movements andconnections to other such streets.• Opportunity to increasepedestrian amenitythrough provision ofmore pedestrian space.• Connect features/precinctsacross the city centre.Movement Streets• Through-movement forpedestrians, cyclists and vehicles.• Long-term vehicular movementfunction, as outlined in thePNCC District Plan.• Multiple connections toother category streetsprovided and enhanced.• Less active edges and a smallerrange of uses, a higher proportionof which are vehicle-based(e.g. car-parking buildingentrances, large format retail).• Limited potential to developmore pedestrian space foramenity without compromisingessential pedestrian/cyclist/vehicular movement function.19DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd1 streets for people ]

20DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd1 streets for people ]Elliot Street, AucklandStrengtheningthe City Heartby PuttingPeople FirstThere are 3 priority changes to be made to the street networkto ensure we are putting people first within the city centre.These are:1. Creating place based streets around the edges of theSquare2. Reconfiguring Broadway Avenue as a place based street3. Linking Te Manawa to George Street to the Square bycareful place based streetscape designOther changes to the street network, such as reconfiguringCuba Street to a movement/place street will help providevibrancy, vitality and versatile streets for people.6 The District Plan section 20 Transportation - Map 20A.4 shows the roadhierarchy classification. The District plan rules show which streets are‘pedestrian streets’. The provisions of the District Plan determine how thebuilt environment on private land relates to pedestrian streets.

Consistency inStreet DesignThe CCF has been developed in parallel with the Street DesignManual (SDM) for Palmerston North. The SDM sets out thedesign philosophy and vision for Palmerston North streets. Aset of standard designs will ensure a consistent and coherentnetwork is designed, and assist in designing streets thatbalance the needs of all street users and aesthetics. The SDMalso introduces the road user hierarchy into street design. TheSDM consists of design principles and techniques for 12 streettypes that are sensitive to the land use context. These arecategorised as:CityenvironmentCity centreCommercialResidentialIndustrialRuralStreetType 6Movement(Ring Road)Place/MovementPlace(2 Street Types)ArterialCollectorLocalArterialCollectorLocalArterialCollectorLocalRuralThe SDM reinforces the aim to deliver Streets for People byensuring that any future enhancement and/or developmentfollows an appropriate design philosophy forPalmerston North.Elliot Street, Auckland21DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd1 streets for people ]

ConnectorsVisionEnhance the East-West andNorth-South streets to providebetter connections and characterto the city centreBackgroundThere are a number of existing East-West and North-Southconnections that play an important role in the form andfunction of the city centre. These routes tend to follow theexisting street network and are dominated by large / widestreets that prioritise vehicles over people.The Urban Design Strategy provides clear direction that weneed to be creating a well-connected multipurpose networkof streets and open spaces. Connections across, in and out ofthe city centre need to be easy to access, visible and vibrant.Creating a series of well-designed North-South and East-Westconnectors will help deliver many of the aspirations set in theUrban Design Strategy.The Cuba LinkThe CCF suggests a linear park along Cuba Street from theArena Manawatu main entrance through to the intersectionwith George Street.This potential linear park will directly interrelate with the recentreconfiguration of the intersection of George Street, CubaStreet, and Taonui Street. This new place has been called LittleCuba by local businesses. The new layout allowed people andactivity to occupy space along the street edge in addition toproviding movement of pedestrians and slow movement forvehicles.Little Cuba: the intersection of Cuba, George and Taonui StreetsThe linear park straddles the Ring Road (Pitt Street) givingstrong visual priority to this East-West connector and providinga continuous green corridor between the Arena Manawatuand the top of George Street.The linear park provides an opportunity for shared off roadcycle/walk ways, public seating, public art and heritageinterpretation.Strategic Development Site 7 is positioned on the Northwesterncorner of the Square through to Cuba Street andpresents an excellent opportunity to link this site with thereconfigured Cuba Street and this East-West Link.23DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd 2 connectors ]

Enhancementopportunities to the Railway Land open space, such asextending the skate park facility and recognising the railwayheritage also play an important part in creating this distinctiveConnector on the Western side of the city centre.The informal arrangement of mature vegetation(predominately trees) will help define the East-West Connector.Cook StreetNorth-South ConnectorCook Street has been identified as one of the main connectorsto Arena Manawatu destination from the South. This presentsan opportunity to enhance the characteristics of Cook Streetso that it feels like it’s part of the city centre and acknowledgesits role in connecting Arena Manawatu with the city centre.Simple measures like street tree enhancements will helpdefine and reinforce the characteristic of this Connector.Intersections with Church Street, Main Street West and CubaStreet are important areas along Cook Street. Theseintersections help articulate entrances into and out of the citycentre and play an important role on how people navigateacross the city centre.

Church Street ConnectorThe connections from Church Street to adjoining mid-blocklinks, open spaces and buildings will influence the outcome forthis East-West Connector.This presents an opportunity to create a sequence of differentspaces and places stretching East to West across the Southernside of the city centre. For example, the section of ChurchStreet along the edge of The Square can be reconfigured as a‘Place’ focussed street, providing for further connectionsbetween the buildings, footpaths and The Square.The old Railway Land open space also plays an important rolein this East-West connector. The vegetation, footpath treatmentand street furnishing should also aim connect Church Street tothis significant area of open space within the city centre.Strategic Development sites 4 and 5 are positioned along theCook Street connector. Future developments on these sitesplay an important role in this connector.Northern ConnectorRangitikei Street plays an important role for people travellingin and out of the city centre from the North and from theAirport via JFK Drive and Airport Drive. The street links StateHighway 3 to the city centre.Views toward the city centre are dominant along this route asyou approach the city travelling from the North. These viewshelp visitors orientate themselves as they approach the citycentre. The Clock Tower (and lighting at night) in particular is akey signal. View towards the Clock Tower from Rangitikei Streetshould be enhanced and protected to ensure that visualconnections toward the city centre remain.The CCF proposes that the section of Rangitikei Street betweenFeatherston Street and the Ring Road will be a ‘Movement’focussed street, allowing for through movement into and outof the city centre.The section Rangitikei Street between the Ring Road and KingStreet is proposed to be focussed on both Movement andPlace, enhancing the sequence of arrival into the city centre.The most significant transformation for this NorthernConnector is reconfiguring Rangitikei Street between KingStreet and the Square to become a ‘place’ focussed streetdirectly connecting into the King Street, Cuba Street andThe Square.North/South ViewFitzherbert Avenue is one of the key Avenues into the citycentre from the South, the bridge over the Manawatū Riverand the Massey University’s Manawatū Campus. Views towardsthe Square (in particular the Clock Tower) from alongFitzherbert Avenue help to enhance the experience of arrivinginto the city centre and are an important part of how peopleconnect with the city centre travelling in from the South.The Northern section of Fitzherbert Avenue is proposed tobecome a ‘place’ focused street, with a reduction of vehiculardominated environment, increase of active frontage andadditional trees and vegetation. This shift in visual characterwill help create a vibrant and distinctive gateway andconnection on this Southern side to the city centre.Strategic Development site 3 is positioned along FitzherbertAvenue. Future development of this site plays an importantrole in this connector.The Ring RoadEnhancing the character and function of the Ring Road willhelp with both North-South and East-West connectionsbypassing the need to go through the city centre.The Ring Road consists of 3.4 kilometres of movement street,providing vehicles, cyclists and people a clear route around thecity centre travelling East to West, West to East, North to Southand South to North.The general character of the Ring Road consists of 4 lanes oftraffic, cycling facilities and trees planted in a centralmedian strip.Three of the East-West connectors that straddle the Ring Roadhave a significant influence on how the city centre Street andOpen Network functions. These are Cuba Street, and itspotential linear park, Main Street West, and the link betweenthe railway land and Te Manawa, and Church Street stretchingeast to west across the southern side of the city centre.Intersections between these connectors and the Ring Roadshould give priority (visual and physical) to pedestriansover vehicles.27DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd 2 connectors ]Strategic Development site 1 is positioned on the corner ofRangitikei Street and the Ring Road.

Nature in the CityVisionTo enhance, create andsustain green infrastructurein the city centreBackgroundIn a city environment trees and vegetation provide animportant visual and ecological resource, moderating climate,creating shade and giving scale to mediate between humanand built environments. Palmerston North’s city centre benefitsfrom existing vegetation and nature within The Square, thestreets and surrounding open spaces/reserves. Retaining,enhancing and adding to this green infrastructure has anumber of benefits.A Biodiversity Strategy is being developed in 2013 that willincrease planting around the city, continue and increase pestcontrol, actively promote biodiversity, and protect and restorethe city’s terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity.The CCF provides a useful vehicle to deliver these aims withinthe city centre. It also indicates the need to establish a citycentre wide Vegetation Framework 7 that considers appropriatespecies in appropriate places, addressing the debate aroundnative vs. non-native vegetation species within the city centre,maintenance, and how vegetation can help inform peopleabout landscape and environmental issues and heritage.A Biodiversity Strategy initiative will cover the same issues on acitywide scale. The Strategy will engage with Rangitāne toconfirm previous imperatives and identify new ones,particularly in regards to increasing the use of indigenousvegetation. Indigenous species in a central city context relateto the recognition of the pre-European landscape and culturalvalues associated with the area, as well as the broader contextof biodiversity enhancement and restoration.7The vegetation framework will be a chapter of the Technical Manualwhich is outlined in more detail in the section ‘Making It Happen’The Square29DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd3 nature in the city ]

Large scale vegetation along a linear park, Las Ramblas, Barcelona

VegetationFrameworkA preliminary structure to the Vegetation Framework consistsof the following key characteristics:Large Scale VegetationThe majority of the city centre’s streets are wide and generallydominated by asphalt and vehicles. Some of these streets havelittle or no vegetation on them. In addition to enhancing thecharacter of a city centre and breaking down the dominanceof asphalt, trees can provide shade, ecological habitats andreduce the heat island effect within a city centre.31The Ring RoadVegetation on the majority of the Ring Road should beconsistent in size, species and position (i.e. spacing) to inform ageneral character to the Ring Road and thus helping to delivera more legible and understandable function/purpose of thering road. The only exception to this consistency in charactershould be on Pitt Street in between Church Street and CubaStreet, where the vegetation takes more of an informalcharacter/layout to reflect and reinforce the East-WestConnectors (Cuba Link, Main Street West and Church Street).Cuba Street BoulevardThe Cuba Link provides a great opportunity to create a formalcity boulevard of mature trees that visually link the ArenaManawatu through to George Street and provide essentialvegetation within the city centre.Tree species, size, and spacing should be consistent and wellthought through to ensure this boulevard delivers a strong,dominant visual and ecological link along Cuba Street.Rain gardens, swales and other storm water managementshould also be considered when planning and designing theCuba Link linear park.In addition to the Ring Road, large scale trees planted in aformal arrangement should be considered for the followingstreets: Main Street, Cook Street, Cuba Street, Church Streetand Fitzherbert Avenue.Small Scale VegetationSmall scale trees and vegetation are intended to help definethe character and finer grain of some of the Place Streets,Movement/Place Streets and open spaces. They help bring thescale of the urban environment down to a human scale andrespond to the use of the streets and open spaces.Informal VegetationThe informal vegetation builds on the existing informal patternof mature vegetation on the old Railway Land, by theConvention Centre and in the Square. There is also anopportunity to use vegetation to inform references to thePapaioea clearing.Low impact design and small scale vegetationLondon Quay, PictonLow Impact Designand HydrologyIn addition to vegetation, hydrology (and the way we manageit) plays an important role in the future of the city centre. Thequality and quantity of stormwater runoff and inundationdirectly affects the function of the city centre and indirectly theManawatū River. Development of the city centre provides anopportunity to integrate stormwater management systemswithin landscape and urban design objectives. Stormwaterdesign should seek to reduce and treat stormwater runoff,while also raising awareness of naturally occurring processes inthe catchment. It is anticipated that low impact designapproaches in the developed landscape will contributesignificantly to the amenity of the built environment and helpcreate a unique sense of place.DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd3 nature in the city ]

Alan StEmbracing EducationVictoria Avehe Me wTirauVisionTo provide opportunities foreducational institutions to playa crucial role in the form andfunction of the city centreBackgroundPalmerston North city centre has a number of local educationalinstitutions. UCOL have their campus in the North-easterncorner of the city centre. Massey University and theInternational Pacific College have their Manawatū Campusacross the river, and Te Wananga o Aotearoa is relocating toHokowhitu. As well as these larger campuses there are alsomany smaller tertiary providers whose teaching targets sectorssuch as older people and recent migrants. All of theseinstitutions, and their students, have an important role to playin the city centre.Student RealmStudents use and occupy the public realm within the citycentre. The CCF acknowledges this and seeks to encouragestudents of all ages to continue to play an important role in thecity’s form and function.Streets, open spaces and public facilities require careful andconsidered planning and design to reflect, accommodate andinfluence student behaviour. Access to information, Wi-Fi andrecreation facilities will help encourage students to dwell,socialise and play within Palmerston North, helping to create avibrant, caring, innovative and sustainable city.Connecting the city centre’s public facilities such as the Library,the Square, Arena Manawatu and Te Manawa to existingeducational institutions will help embed students and studentculture within the city environment.33DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd4 embracing education ]

Integrating ArtsVisionTo express culture and creativitythroughout the city centreand ensure all public projectsin the city centre includecreative elementsBackgroundThe CCF helps to articulate and deliver the Arts Strategy (2010).The initiatives that are in the Arts Strategy are coordinated withthe Urban Design Strategy to enhance the look and feel of thecity. The arts and use of public art help to build a stimulatingand vibrant urban environment, and to develop attractivepublic spaces. The strategy also encourages greater artistic useof public spaces. Seasonal programming of activities in publicspaces is a critical factor in creating a lively city.Palmerston North is already known for its collection of publicsculptures implemented through the Public Sculpture Trust.These permanent public sculptures together with aprogramme of performance, theatre and exhibitions helpreinforce the city centre as a place for the arts.To ensure this is retained and enhanced, the CCF specificallyidentifies the integration of art in all of its diverse forms as animportant direction for the future.Broadwater Parklands, Gold Coast, Australia39DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd5 integrating arts ]

42DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd5 integrating arts ]Public Sculpture TrustStarting in 2005, the PN Public Sculpture Trust has beenworking with the Council to install ten public sculptures overten years. The seven sculptures installed to date in addition toolder sculpture and other public art have added an artisticelement to the urban environment. Collectively this hashelped to develop the concept of a Palmerston North being acreative city. With the exception of one, the majority of thesesculptures tend to be installed on the Western side of the citycentre.The CCF provides clear guidance as to how the remainingthree public sculptures fit within the wider city fabric. Duringthe development of this framework, the next location for apublic sculpture was chosen. The junction between BroadwayAvenue and the Square provides an opportunity to link /connect the series of public sculpture from the Western side ofthe Square to the East.The final two sculptures are proposed to be installed along theEastern edge of The Square. It is recommended that these finalsculptures are integrated into future streetscape andcoordinated with infrastructure improvements to deliver thevision set by the Urban Design Strategy and the CCF.Returning Column by Greg Johns, The SquareUnited-Divided by Phil Price, Main Street West

A focus on Public ArtWithin the City CentreIn addition to public sculpture, public art can be incorporatedinto the furnishings of the street, building frontages and publicopen spaces. Integration of art into these elements should bethought through at the early stages of design. Art may berepresented in things like the form of a park bench, the designof an alleyway gate, or the design of manhole covers across thecity centre.The Urban Design Strategy emphasises that the publicrecognition and expression of the local iwi Rangitāne is a toppriority. Further the broader base of indigenous Māori arts inboth its traditional and more contemporary styles is also apriority. Māori perspectives of the arts is broad andencompassing, which aligns well with the Palmerston North’sArts Strategy’s aspiration to consider arts in a wider sense. ToiMāori is a term that can be used to refer to all the diversecontemporary and traditional Māori art forms. Some of themore prominent types of Māori artistic expression that couldbe reflected in the city are kapa haka, whakairo (carving), mahiraranga (weaving), whakaahua (painting) and other visual artforms, waiata (song) and other vocal expression includingwhaikorero (formal oratory), whiti (poetry) and tuhituhi(writing). Some Māori art forms are associated with ancestralknowledge and are primarily shared and maintained withinwhanau, hapu and iwi.With this in mind, the representation and integration of Māoriarts into the city centre fabric provides an excellent opportunityto create a unique sense of place that directly relates back tothe Rangitāne heritage in the Palmerston North and widerManawatū area.Body Language by Terry Stringer, The Square Te Marae o Hine43DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd5 integrating arts ]

City of CultureVisionTo celebrate culture and build onthe wealth of cultural assets thecity has already developedBackgroundAll the drivers within the Urban Design Strategy point towardscelebrating the culture of Palmerston North as an importantway to deliver a vibrant, caring, innovative and sustainable city.The intent of this KD is to help reinforce this message andprovide a steer as to how culture might be celebrated withinthe city centre.This KD also reinforces the messages within the PalmerstonNorth Social Strategy (2012).The CCF and the District Plan are tools to ensure that thephysical make-up of the city enable community culture,activity and engagement. A sustainable city is laid out to makeit easy to walk to local shops and community facilities. Thisincludes public open spaces, public art and other spaces andplaces that enable and encourage cultural connections.Ensuring the city centre is well connected for pedestrianactivity, has adequate space for local recreation and leisure,and is flexible for future change, all contribute to buildingcommunities that people use.Cultural TapestryPalmerston North experienced significant change in the ethnicdiversity of its population between 1996 and 2006 and furthersignificant ethnic change is projected by Statistics NewZealand over the period from 2006 to 2021. Embracing thisdiversity and providing a city centre that provides spaces andplaces for a variety of residents and visitors to enjoy, play andsocialise in an inclusive way is fundamental to the success ofPalmerston North.Placing emphasis on celebrating and supporting cultural andcreative diversity benefits the city centre by injecting newideas and inspiration into the city centre fabric. It also lendssupport to social sustainability, by providing an opportunityfor new migrants and settlers to become more involved in thecommunity, and helping to share their ideas and culture.Flexible and adaptable spaces and places across the city centrewill help provide for a variety of cultural events and day to dayactivities to occur.45DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd6 city of culture ]

The city has astrong cultural and historical connection to this area and arean integral part of the founding story as Rangitāne identifiedthe Papaioea clearing as an area having the features thatwould support a town in a district which was characterised bynatural waterways including many wetlands and swamps.Indigenous cultural perspectives are also an important andunder-represented part of the physical environment ofPalmerston North today. Increasingly sophisticated andknowledgeable locals and visitors will have a growingexpectation that the city will represent this in futuredevelopments. As with KD 5 – Integrating Arts, the Māoriperspective of culture and the arts is broad and encompassing.Expressing Toi Māori within the city centre could take a numberof different physical and non-physical forms.Te Manawa - A Cultural HubTe Manawa is the city’s art gallery, science centre, and museumand is occupies a large part of the block along Main Street fromthe Railway Land to The Square. The complex describes itselfas:Te Manawa is new, innovative, different,open, flexible and modern. Te Manawais a place of ideas, exhibitions, and cooperation.Te Manawa is an Art Gallery,Museum and Science Centre, a meetingplace, a party venue, a performancespace.

The Cultural PrecinctCultural precincts develop in cities through both deliberatecity led interventions and spontaneous private led activitiesand development. These areas typically attract people thatwork and are involved in the creative industries 8 and alsopeople that ‘consume’ that culture. Cultural precincts also havea strong relationship with café culture and the night-timeeconomy. A defining factor of these places is that they aredistinctive from other places within the city they are located.47Palmerston North’s cultural precinct is defined by a strongpresence publicly funded cultural institutions and aconcentration of cafés. Recently, retailers and businesses havebegun referring to the area simply as ‘The Quarter’ and definedit as ‘a block or so around George Street and Coleman Place’.Te Manawa, The Globe Theatre, Council building andConvention Centre, the Library and their surroundings play animportant role in defining the character of the city centre inthe Western side of The Square. Considering the use andpurpose of these buildings are fundamentally related to theculture within the city centre, they play an important role ininforming Palmerston North as a cultural city. Yet this brings arisk of reliance on public investment for cultural ‘products’ anda risk of stagnation or perception that culture only occurs inthese locationsTo sustain an evolving cultural precinct The Quarter needs toretain and enhance its distinctiveness from other areas in thecity centre, and to attract greater numbers of private producersof culture in all its forms.8Arts, design, media, film and so onRangitāne sculpture by Warren Warbrick, Te Marae o HineDRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd6 city of culture ]

Play in the CityVisionTo provide a fun, welcoming,safe and stimulatingenvironment for all agesBackgroundThe ability for people of all ages to ‘play’ within the city centrehas an important role in delivering a vibrant, caring, innovativeand sustainable place to live, work and visit.In addition to the Urban Design Strategy, the Active RecreationStrategy 2012 is the primary document that addresses theneed for play provision within Palmerston North.This KD is aimed at encouraging opportunities for families andindividuals to socialise and play within the city centre.Play InterventionsThe Active Recreation Strategy 2012 indicates that there isgrowing international recognition that children play whereverand whenever they can. The traditional response of providingfixed equipment within fenced-off areas is seen by many as aninappropriate response to meet children’s play needs. Thefavoured response is to make many more environments forchildren fun, interesting and stimulating, particularly utilisingnatural features.Whilst investment in play space needs to continue while thechild population grows in the city, there is an opportunity toutilise the availability of local parks and reserves, in combinationwith the Council’s place-making initiatives, to make the citymuch more playful.Play inventions maybe as simple as painting a hopscotch on apublic footpath, replacing car parking spaces with sandpits,through to organising large play focussed community events.More permanent play facilities should also be integrated intothe city’s infrastructure such as public art, furniture, retainingwalls and the general design of the public realm.49DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd7 play in the city ]Touchable water is a big attraction for all ages.

Arena ManawatuThe connection and access between Arena Manawatu and therest of the city centre has an important role in delivering a‘playful’ city centre.50DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH [ kd7 play in the city ]Arena Manawatu is a unique facility in New Zealand due to itssize, location and combination of facilities. It has the ability tofacilitate and provide for a number of different play experiences,whether these are regular formal recreation related activities orone off events.Railway LandThe area of land known as the Railway Land currently functionsas a large flexible area of open space in close proximity to therest of the city centre. The open space generally consists oflarge areas of grass, mature trees, a skate park facility and hascar parking provision on three of its edges.The railway land currently accommodates events such ascircuses, gypsy fairs, and car club meets. Skate boarding,BMXing and other youth focussed activities make the skatepark one of the city’s most used public spaces.There are three key areas to focus on for the Railway Land:1. Retain the flexibility of the open space to allow for largepublic events to happen within the centre outside ofThe Square.2. Ensure that the mature vegetation is retained andenhanced to provide shade, character and connectionwith nature within the city centre.3. Celebrate the heritage of the railway land, such asexploring the potential to reveal the old railway turntablesand integrate this or other artefacts and representativefeatures into the expansion of the skate park facility.

The SquareThe Square is a significant area of open space right at the heartof the city centre. Its dominance (visual and physical) withinthe city centre provides an excellent opportunity for play tohappen in a variety of forms. The flexibility and size of thespaces within The Square allows for a programme of differentplay activities to occur throughout the year.The Square also provides a destination for informal gatheringsand social interaction such as younger people ‘hanging out’ orinformal ball games. The CCF recognises the importance ofThe Square and its role in providing flexible, yet distinctiveopen space for play, recreation and sports. The concept andstory of Te Marae o Hine – The Courtyard of the Daughter ofPeace is a strong theme from an iwi perspective and it formsan important part of the Square’s history. The Peace Sculptureexhibition within this space is inspired by this korero and anexample of how indigenous culture can be reflected inmodern ways and from multicultural perspectives.Metuanooroa Tapuni of Auckland takes a break.

Alan StActivity for PeopleVictoria Avehe Me wTirauVisionTo co-ordinate place makingand public space programmingto make the city centre a‘living theatre’ that peoplecan interact withBackgroundA measure of the success of a public space is how well used itis. Cities of all scales have been addressing the issue of vitalityin cities by focussing on the human scale. It is at the humanscale where interactions between people happen, memoriesare created, and places are most intensely experienced. Oftenthe base quality of public spaces depends on whether thehuman scale has been carefully addressed or neglected.The types of activity people engage in in public spaces arenecessary activities, optional activities, and social activities. Asthe quality of a place and reasons to be in a place increase theamount of optional activity and social activity increase in turn.Research has also shown that ‘people attract people’, so asuccessful space becomes even more successful as simplybeing around other people and people-watching becomesan attractor.Placemaking OpportunitiesPlacemaking provides a mental model for addressing activityand the human scale in a city centre in a deliberate andtargeted way. Making a ‘place’ is an intrinsically holisticapproach as it includes all aspects of built environment, openspace, streets, and city life and emotions. A focus on placeforces use of a different design process as opposed to atraditional reductionist approach which breaks a cityenvironment into parts that different professions designand manage.The on-going management and activation of a place is also atleast as important as the initial design. Prototyping andexperimenting with features and activities in public spacesbefore finalising designs is a critical method of engaging thepublic in the making of a place.The ‘power of ten’ concept 9 is a simple framework for activatinga city centre. This concept frames the city centre as adestination, within the destination there needs to be 10 ormore great places, at each place there needs to 10 or morethings to do or reasons to be in the place. This concept clearlyillustrates why placemaking is a critical component to the citycentre, how the reasons for being in the city centre coulddramatically increase, and how enriching people’s experienceof the city centre will attract more people in a virtuous cycle.The ‘places’ within Palmerston North often occur at thejunctions between major facilities, busy pedestrian routes, andpublic spaces. However, Palmerston North has a great wealthof public space in the city centre which risks placemakingefforts being spread too thinly. The priority will be to focus onconcentrating placemaking activity to get 10 things to do inplaces in the city centre where placemaking efforts havealready begun. These are in The Quarter (cultural precinct),around the Butterfly Pond, and the middle of Broadway andRegent Arcade.Reclaimed carpark on George Street53DRAFT CCF FOR PALMERSTON NORTH key directions [ kd 8 activity for people ]9Project for Public Spaces www.pps.org

57Active EdgesActive uses at ground level are required within the city centre.Active edges have been identified where active street leveluses need to be consolidated and developed, creating vibrantstreetscape in all areas with pedestrian traffic. Transparencyand opening to the street are to be maximised; and blankwalls, fire exits and building service elements are tobe minimised.Mid-Block LinksVery large or very long blocks preclude easy pedestrian accessand encourage people to use their cars for what wouldotherwise be simple walking journeys. This is ofteninconvenient and places unnecessary traffic on the streetnetwork. Providing mid-block links assists people to movebetween activities and destinations.High-quality small scale actions transform this lane Tossa de Mar, SpainMid-block links also play an important role in the wider openspace and street network, in that they provide an alternativeexperience for people to move through and stop across thecity centre.

Fitzherbert AvenueSouth of the Ring Road, Fitzherbert Avenue is a Major ArterialRoad linking the city centre to the Manawatū River, MasseyUniversity campus and to the South of the North Island. TheCCF suggests that the section of Fitzherbert Avenue betweenFerguson Street and Church Street is re-configured making asignificant shift in the way people experience and enter thecity centre form this Southern Gateway.This section of Fitzherbert Avenue is proposed to become a‘Place’ focused street, with a reduction of vehicular dominatedenvironment, increase of active frontage and additional treesand vegetation. This shift in character will help create a vibrantand distinctive gateway and connection on this Southern sideto the city centre.Views towards the Square (in particular the Clock Tower) fromalong Fitzherbert Avenue help to enhance the experience ofarriving into the city centre and are an important part of howpeople connect with the city centre travelling in from theSouth. The site brief for Strategic Development Site 3 outlinesthe opportunities for properties along this part of Fitzherbertto contribute to transforming this street to a high qualityentrance experience to the city centre.Cuba StreetThe CCF suggests a linear park along Cuba Street from theArena Manawatu main entrance through to the intersectionwith George Street. From this intersection to Rangitikei Street,Cuba Street is intended to be a Place street.The potential linear park will directly interrelate with the recentwork implemented at the intersection between George Streetand Cuba Street where people and activity occupy space,already transforming this section of Cuba Street in a Placefocus street.The linear park straddles the Ring Road (Pitt Street) givingstrong visual priority to this East-West connector and providinga continuous green corridor between the Arena and the top ofGeorge Street. This is an important signal to visitors that theyhave entered a city centre.The potential linear park will play an important role in the waypeople experience the city centre as they enter alongthis route.Rangitikei StreetRangitikei Street plays an important role for people travellingin and out of the city centre form the North. The street linksState Highway 3 to the city centre.Views toward the city centre are dominant along this route asyou approach the city travelling from the North. These viewshelp visitors orientate themselves as they approach the citycentre. The Clock Tower (and lighting at night) in particular is akey signal. View towards the Clock Tower from Rangitikei Streetshould be enhanced and protected to ensure that visualconnections toward the city centre remain.Strategic Development site 1 is positioned on the corner ofRangitikei Street and the Ring Road. Future development ofthis corner plays an important role in this entrance experience.The site brief outlines the opportunities for development onthis site.The section Rangitikei Street between the Ring Road and KingStreet is proposed to be focussed on both Movement andPlace, enhancing the sequence of arrival into the city centre.The most significant transformation for this NorthernConnector is reconfiguring Rangitikei Street between KingStreet and The Square to become a ‘Place’ focussed streetdirectly connecting into the King Street, Cuba Street andThe Square.Main Street andTransport HubIn the short-term the long distance (interregional) coachservices are being consolidated to a new off street facility onMain Street. For many, this will provide a first impression of thecity centre so the quality of this experience is therefore a highpriority. Connections to and from the facility are an importantfactor as is a legible and quality pedestrian environment.The Airport LinkThe Airport is an essential element of the city’s transportinfrastructure and is essential to the continued operation ofthe city as a distribution centre. It also represents an increasingimportant mode of transport for the communityEnsuring there is a clear, legible and appropriate transportroute to and from the airport has a crucial role in delivering awelcoming experience for visitors and residents of PalmerstonNorth.
