The Square
The central square is a large open block where major streets converge. On the poster it reads as a clear void at the heart of the grid, so the eye always finds the centre.

The map
About this Palmerston North map poster
Palmerston North sits on the Manawatū Plains in the lower North Island. From above it is one of New Zealand's most orderly inland cities. Straight streets radiate and cross around The Square, a large green space at the centre of town, and the grid continues in every direction until it meets farmland. The regularity is easy to see even at small scale.
Along the southern edge, the Manawatū River bends past the city with wide berms and walkways. The Victoria Esplanade gardens lie beside it. Massey University's main campus is on the far bank, so the river forms a boundary between the city and the university. To the east, the land rises toward the Ruahine and Tararua ranges, and wind turbines stand along the ridgelines.
A Palmerston North map poster sets the square, the river and the campus in one frame. The city is known for Massey University and for the New Zealand Rugby Museum. The land is flat and the street layout is deliberate, so the drawing looks clean and architectural. The river adds the one strong curve on an otherwise rectangular plan.

Manawatū River bend
The river loops along the southern side of the city with broad green margins. Its curve softens the rectilinear streets and separates the city from the university.
Massey campus
Across the river, Massey University's grounds form a looser pattern of paths and buildings. The contrast with the tight street grid on the city side is easy to see.

Why Palmerston North
