 | | Auckland City is the largest city in New Zealand, with the provisional estimated resident population being 425,400 as at 20 June 2005. |
 | | Recently, connected with discussions about rates increases and plans to improve the public services of the region, which some consider substandard for a city of this size, there have been calls for further integration, namely with the other cities of the Auckland conurbation, or even forming a unitary authority. |
 | | Defenders of such a move point out that there are currently eight elected Councils (seven local councils and one regional council), with the associated bueraucratic efficiency problems. |
