What if a city thought differently about growth?

Not bigger for the sake of bigger, not faster at the expense of better but growth shaped by the people it serves and the place it belongs to.

That's Whanganui.

We're home to nearly 50,000 people in New Zealand's lower North Island, and we're growing with intention. Our economy is one of the country's most diverse and when we identify our strengths, we excel.
