  Concord, New Zealand  |
||
Concord is a small neighborhood in the New Zealand city of Dunedin. It is located southwest of the city center.
Concord used to be on a main road called State Highway 1. But in the 1990s, a new road called the Dunedin Southern Motorway was built. Now, most traffic goes around Concord, making it a quieter place to live. The old main road through Concord is now a smaller street. However, it is still an important link to nearby areas like Corstorphine and Calton Hill.
