The State of the City report is the first of its kind for a New Zealand city. It’s a comprehensive, annual international benchmarking report initiated by Committee for Auckland in partnership with Deloitte and Tātaki Auckland Unlimited with support from the Auckland Policy Office and the Koi Tū think tank.

This second update provides a short account of how Auckland is tracking, information on the progress underway and insights on future action needed.

This Update shows that Auckland’s fresh air, university ranking, and outdoor activities appear as international strengths, however the city’s higher cost of living, weaker prosperity, and lower levels of happiness present challenges.

While the report shows progress in some areas, it reinforces that greater collective effort, particular around Auckland’s lower ranked areas of innovation and knowledge are needed to address Auckland’s larger and more systemic challenges.

The State of the City 2024 report will be released later in 2024.
