Summary: "Auckland is New Zealand’s bold experiment in local government. Is the Super City a success, a disappointment or something in between? The local government elections in 2013 provide an opportunity to assess the state of Auckland. How is New Zealand’s largest city measuring up three years on from the unique governance reforms that created it? This report examines various areas of living in Auckland; its people and communities, democratic participation, the economy, the state of the built and natural environment, transport and other infrastructure, public services, confidence in Auckland’s regional and local governance and value for money. It aims to help citizens make informed decisions when they vote in the 2013 local government elections. It also allows them to be involved in a continuing research project that assesses the city they live in. The monitoring of the Super City provides an objective and authoritative reflection on trends and change over time. It has been written by researchers from the new School of Social Sciences and Public Policy at AUT University and is based on a framework developed by the Department of Internal Affairs in 2010. An online survey of Auckland residents commissioned by AUT in April 2013 revealed that the most pressing current and further issues were public transport, law and order, health, housing availability, the economy, and population growth/sustainability."-- http://http://www.supercityproject.aut.ac.nz/home.
