Pre-war north American inner
suburbs
This is a model some of us may
know from movies and TV. It allows for relatively high density
while retaining individual and individualistic houses with gardens and
sheds and can easily be geared to foster community spirit. It should
appeal to many New Zealanders with relatively little
modification. The style of the houses is irrelevant, the American
ones being generally shingle style and Queen-Anne Victorian. Here in
New Zealand we could use any of our modernist styles, Queen-Anne
Victorian, our own weatherboard, brick or stucco takes on the Arts and
Crafts movement, or anything else that appeals to us for that matter.
