This report sets out the findings of urban design research into an economic evaluation tool developed by Transport for London, known as the Valuing Urban Realm Toolkit 2016 (VURT). The tool was developed to ascribe a monetary value to the investment cities make in the urban realm. The research documented in this report, which took the form of three case studies for different streetscape locations and future development scenarios within Auckland’s city centre, was carried out by Boffa Miskell urban designers in the first quarter of 2017.
