  • An Uphill Battle. Which Street Really Is the World's Steepest?
    An uphill battle Which street really is the world’s steepest – Ffordd Pen Llech or Baldwin Street? Report prepared by Toby Peter Stoff (B Surv, MNZIS, MCSNZ, RPSurv, Licensed Cadastral Surveyor), Summary This report provides a comparison of the current world’s steepest street: Ffordd Pen Llech in Harlech, Wales, with its predecessor: Baldwin Street in Dunedin, New Zealand. The analysis covers the three-dimensional shape of both streets, a review of the Guinness World Record parameters used to award the world record to Ffordd Pen Llech, and suggestions for future measurements of the world’s steepest street. This report finds that Baldwin Street is steeper than Ffordd Pen Llech by 5.2 per cent when the average of left-hand side, centreline and right-hand side gradients of the steepest 10-metre sections of both streets are compared. This report also finds that the centreline of Baldwin Street is 6.2 per cent steeper than Ffordd Pen Llech. This is largely due to the different shape of both streets. Baldwin Street is straight with uniform gradient across the width of the carriageway. Ffordd Pen Llech has many horizontal curves which all affect the road gradient. Our view is that a minor rule change is necessary to enable straight streets and curved streets to be assessed fairly. This can be achieved by requiring steepness to be measured at the centreline of the street. Measuring on the centreline: • is standard practice in the surveying and engineering professions • provides a reasonable approximation of average gradient over the full width • allows straight and curved streets to be assessed equally without using overly sophisticated measurement and analysis techniques.

In the 1950s, he wrote that New Zealand’s cities “were among the most joyless in human history.” Now, some 60 years later, I’d venture he’d eat those words. We were meandering about the city of Auckland reminiscing about the change that Splayed across some 50 volcanic cones that taper into a skinny neck of land flanked by two had taken place since our first visit more than 30 years ago. At that time, Auckland was large harbours, Auckland is defined by its volcanic bumps and watery indentations. The dormant partway through a major facelift that had many residents and onlookers scratching volcanoes have been turned into city parks like Eden Hill, One Tree Hill, and the Auckland Domain.
