A report commissioned in 2009 is the basis for the Akersten Precinct, aimed at guiding urban growth, design and housing intensification.
Nelson's port and marina were built on reclaimed land, which juts out into the Nelson Haven on the city's front doorstep.
A summary of the 2009 report noted that Nelson's identity has been forged through its connection to the sea, since initial settlement by Māori and subsequent settlement by the New Zealand Company in the 1840s.

Over the years land just to the north of the city has been reclaimed as the town and the port have grown, with substantial areas of port land created in the 1950s to the 1970s.
