Do you know that the capital city of New Zealand has an entire peninsula that's blocked off from the rest of the city by its international airport. The Miramar Peninsular has a population of 20,000 people and their only way to get to and from the city is through a two-lane road that goes past the airport, or a narrow service road that goes underneath it to the south.

This is the kind of town planning I would have done in Sim City 4 when I was 12. Can any Kiwi bros comment on what this road is like?

I didn't know that, mostly because I don't think about Australia's Canada at all.

>miramar

I don't see the problem with this

>>212373631 (OP)
it's a 266k city, why would two two lane roads not be enough? calm your autism

It's a very long bike ride from Miramar to Downtown Wellington, so people must use their automobiles and drive. Even 5-10,000 people using their automobile every day on a 2 lane road is quite congesting. We do not believe in public transport in the Southern Hemisphere.

just tunnel under it whats the issue

pretty sure you have one too, we do

Imagine living in New Zealand and you have to pronounce all the area names like NGOWHAIAUKAWHUNKUA and OHAEAEAKAWHAIMAIMAUNGA because your government loves grovelling to brown people

this is the same guy that was a war-time enemy and the enemy general of the failed Dardanelles campaign. Just how cucked can one nation be?

seriously, why are anglos so fucking dogshit at urban planning
like what the fuck are we doing

>>212375592
All whist having names like Angus or Graeme kek

I got name-checked by some cunt once for saying 'Egmont' instead of Taranaki
>that's disrespectful
No it's because i'm from England, not the ngukuaukwau tribe dickhead

>their only way to get to and from the city
Do those 20K people ALL need to go to downtown Wellington at the same time ? This road is probably more than enough, they would have enlarged it easily if that was a problem.

>>212375592
It's not really any different in Australia.

it could be worse OP. you could be like Gibraltar and have to drive over the airport tarmac to cross.

Why doesn’t Auckland build a bridge across Evan’s bay?

>>212378943
It would upset the spirit of Paikea

>>212378864

That's like Sim City shit. No space so we're just cramming things in there creatively.

>>212379036
That’s better than American urban sprawl

I live in a country in which it is absolutely illegal to demolish a part of the city center to make it more liveable and available for the people to work in, because it's old or something.
And now we got thousands of cities, big ones too, that are reduced to mere tourist attractions

And that’s a good thing

>arch over a runway
At this point just make the runway a tunnel

>>212379330
>Arch

If only

>>212379330
It’s a crossing, traffic halts when planes land or take off

so there is a tunnel underneath, but it's only for bikes and pedestrians and it looks like rape central.

Can you travel to NZ by ferry from other countries? Feels like that is more fun than getting there by plane

>>212379069
Mmmm that lovely layer of vanilla perfumed breeze.

>>212379069
urban sprawl is kino

>>212379383
>>212379511
You could probably cause a plane crash with a big enough vehicle there.

It’s not when it’s badly designed like LA’s. Tokyo is a well-connected city, like a conglomeration of smaller towns, and it has plenty of parks, lakes, canals, on top of the best public transport in the world.

>>212379704
You can get there on a Cruise Ship but there's no ferries that go there. Even the ferry that crosses the north and south island is like a 1 hour boat ride and is only slightly narrower than the English channel.

The closest landmass is Australia at about 1600km from their closest points. It would be like taking a ferry from Netherlands to Iceland

>>212379894
Honestly I very much doubt Western people especially Americans would enjoy Tokyo level density
It is probably fun for a bit but not how the vast majority of people prefer living
