There was significant official action against sprawl for the last decade in Auckland, fuelled by obvious disasters like the West's Massey suburb. Now being unpicked exactly as those who stand to make out like robbers from it wish.

Apparently, land prices also dictate developers building the biggest house that local rules allow, to get maximum return.
The bigger picture of urban planning is playing out now with developers and the political right succeeding in lobbying for more lateral suburban sprawl where the true costs are put onto everyone else.
Expect widespread regressive changes along those lines when govt guts the Local Govt and RMA legislation like they've been quietly preparing to do for the last couple of years. This is what was at stake while clowns like Mallard played political games.
