Public Life Survey
In 2010, Auckland Council commissioned a survey by Jan Gehl, called the Public Life Survey. The survey has analysed how the central city performs against other international cities, and sets a benchmark for the cities future development. The survey has informed the development of the Central City Masterplan. As well as 24/7 pedestrian counts at key locations, the survey includes interesting data around the number of cafe tables, how long people spend in public spaces, and the general performance of the city centre.
