    Joint media release from the Councils of North Shore, Waitakere, Auckland, Manukau, Rodney, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Hutt, Porirua, Christchurch and Dunedin. EMBARGOED UNTIL THE OFFICIAL RELEASE OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE REPORT, 1PM, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2007 QUALITY OF LIFE REPORT 2007: AUCKLAND CITY MEDIA RELEASE Auckland city offers a high quality of life and has strong population and economic growth – but also experiences pressure on infrastructure and housing, according to a national report out today. The 2007 Quality of Life report, released by the Metropolitan Sector Group today, provides a comprehensive assessment of the quality of life in 12 New Zealand cities, as part of a multi-council initiative. Mayor of Auckland city, Hon. John Banks, said the report highlighted the many positive features of life in Auckland city. “Auckland offers its residents a wealth of opportunities and residents clearly recognise this, with 91% of them rating their quality of life as good or extremely good. That’s a ringing endorsement for the city.” Auckland continued to experience strong population growth, recording a 10% increase between 2001 and 2006. The make-up of the city’s population was ethnically diverse and nearly two-thirds of Aucklanders felt positively about the impact of this increased cultural diversity. As well as strong population growth, the city also experienced economic growth, averaging 4.1% per year between 2001 and 2006. Mr Banks said the Auckland economy was thriving. “From 2001 to 2006, we had the highest number of new jobs and new businesses created of any city in New Zealand. Auckland is the country’s economic powerhouse and it’s good to see that this report demonstrates that the city’s economy is continuing to perform.

  • The Demographic Transformation of Inner City Auckland
    New Zealand Population Review, 35:55-74. Copyright © 2009 Population Association of New Zealand The Demographic Transformation of Inner City Auckland WARDLOW FRIESEN * Abstract The inner city of Auckland, comprising the inner suburbs and the Central Business District (CBD) has undergone a process of reurbanisation in recent years. Following suburbanisation, redevelopment and motorway construction after World War II, the population of the inner city declined significantly. From the 1970s onwards some inner city suburbs started to become gentrified and while this did not result in much population increase, it did change the characteristics of inner city populations. However, global and local forces converged in the 1990s to trigger a rapid repopulation of the CBD through the development of apartments, resulting in a great increase in population numbers and in new populations of local and international students as well as central city workers and others. he transformation of Central Auckland since the mid-twentieth century has taken a number of forms. The suburbs encircling the TCentral Business District (CBD) have seen overall population decline resulting from suburbanisation, as well as changing demographic and ethnic characteristics resulting from a range of factors, and some areas have been transformed into desirable, even elite, neighbourhoods. Towards the end of the twentieth century and into the twenty first century, a related but distinctive transformation has taken place in the CBD, with the rapid construction of commercial and residential buildings and a residential population growth rate of 1000 percent over a fifteen year period. While there are a number of local government and real estate reports on this phenomenon, there has been relatively little academic attention to its nature * School of Environment, The University of Auckland.

  • City Fringe Retail Assessment
    Auckland City Fringe Retail Assessment Prepared for: Waitematā Local Board 30th June, 2016 9/27/2016 1 INTRODUCTION While the Auckland CBD is a popular retail, hospitality, and tourism destination, there are also several strong offerings in the ‘City Fringe’ – the business districts directly neighbouring the CBD. These districts are namely Karangahape Road, Newmarket, Parnell, Ponsonby, and Uptown. With their proximity to the CBD, the City Fringe districts are ideally situated to interact with a large segment of Auckland’s population, and leverage the strong retail trends seen lately in Auckland City. The Waitematā Local Board has commissioned Marketview to assist in developing programmes that will attract retailers and customers to invest in the City Fringe. The purpose of this report is to identify market trends and behaviours in the City Fringe, compare these trends to those observed in the rest of Auckland and NZ to identify any gaps, examine the core customers of the City Fringe and their shopping habits, and identify the potential opportunities for the City Fringe. To analysis is broken into three parts, respectively aiming to identify: • What are the gaps in the City Fringe offering? • Who are the customers of the City Fringe? • What are the opportunities for the City Fringe? DISCLAIMER While every effort has been made in the production of this report, the Bank of New Zealand, Paymark and Marketview Limited are not responsible for the results of any actions taken on the basis of the information in this report and expressly disclaim any liability to any person for anything done or omitted to be done by any such person in reliance on the contents of this report and any losses suffered by any person whether direct or indirect, including loss of profits.
