Auckland, slowly disappearing: Looking for the felton Mathew plan
This paper re‐evaluates the 1841 plan of the first Surveyor General of New Zealand for the then Capital of Auckland. The plan is of interest both because of its relationship to a varied topography, and its collage of geometric precedents in a new landscape. These precedents and the political climate of the time contributed to the ultimate demise of the scheme. The article speculates as to why so little of the original vision survives.
