There's confidence the right balance can be found when it comes to housing intensification in Auckland.
A public meeting was held in Mt Eden last night, over proposals to allow 10 to 15-storey developments near transport hubs and town centres.
Most of the meeting was civil, but things got tense when a young planning student suggested older people were standing in the way of change.
Mt Hobson Group urban planning expert Hamish Firth told Kerre Woodham he thinks the city have high-rise buildings and keep the character.
He says Auckland has six months to a year to discuss this like adults, to get it right.
