The Greater Christchurch Urban Development Strategy (UDS)
The Greater Christchurch Urban Development Strategy is a bold and ambitious plan for managing urban development that protects water, enhances open spaces, improves transport links, creates more liveable centres and manages population growth in a sustainable way.
The UDS vision is for a greater Christchurch for the residents of the area and the UDS partner organisations, Environment Canterbury, the Christchurch City Council, Selwyn and Waimakariri District Councils and the New Zealand Transport Agency (formerly Transit New Zealand).
The UDS provides the primary strategic direction for the Greater Christchurch area, including the location of future housing, development of social and retail activity centres, areas for new employment and integration with transport networks. It also establishes a basis for strategy partners and the community to work collaboratively to manage growth.
The partnership is now working with the Greater Christchurch community to implement the UDS.
