The map
Porirua is a city north of Wellington, on the south-west coast of New Zealand's North Island. It grew rapidly from the 1960s as a planned satellite city, with state housing suburbs built on the hills around the harbour. Today it is a diverse city with a large Māori and Pacific population and strong links to the capital.
The map is shaped by water. Porirua Harbour opens to the sea near Plimmerton and splits into two arms: one reaching into the city centre, the other forming the Pauatahanui Inlet. Suburbs climb the ridges around them, their streets following the contours in curves and loops. Mana Island lies offshore.
A Porirua map poster shows the harbour as a large, irregular space at the heart of the city, with curving suburban streets around its edges. It is a coastal map with a lot of movement in its lines.

Why Porirua
For people who live in Porirua or grew up there, the shape of the harbour is instantly familiar. As a poster it is balanced and open, with enough detail in the suburbs to reward a closer look.
Personalise the title and subtitle, perhaps with a suburb name or year, and adjust the coordinates line. Blueprint makes the harbour stand out, Noir gives it a dramatic depth, and Paper keeps it soft and light.
