Is Auckland a knowledge economy?
Abstract
Auckland, with a population of 1.3 million, is New Zealand’s largest urban area. International studies demonstrate that knowledge-intensive economic activities are strongly correlated with high living standards and that these activities tend to cluster within larger agglomerations. This seminar examines how trends in Auckland’s knowledge-intensive activities have developed relative to those in comparator cities within New Zealand and Australia.
