NZ Popn - Migration, Intra-Urban

Intra-Urban migration is people migrating within a city or urban settlement.

Examples of Intr-Urban Migration
-Papatoetoe to Manukau
-Manurewa to Papakura
-Lower Hutt to Upper Hutt
-Porirua to Wellington
-Mt Roskill to Henderson
-Pamure to Pukekohe
-Otahuhu to Mt Wellington
-Mangere to Remura

Infill housing is when sections get subdivided. (one section that had one house, will now be divided in two and a second house will be built on the property). This can cause pressure on the existing services.

Traffic Congestion is when lots of traffic blocking up the roads. This is caused by population growing faster than the transportation links.

Urban sprawl is when the city spreads into the rural areas.

Gentrification is when people buy cheap old houses and renovate them and increase the value of these houses.
