Are the capital city of New zealand and the largest city of New zealand the same city?

aIno Auckland is the largest wellington is the capital extra info:Auckland used to be the capital so that's probably why its the largest by far(about a quarter of the entire population). they moved the capital to wellington because its in the centre of nz and Auckland is in the north;) BUT .. Auckland was the capital from 1841 to 1865 only! Apparently in about 1900, Auckland Wellington and Dunedin had similar populations - around 100,000. Now Auckland has over 1 million. Auckland has a much milder climate than Wellington. It has a 2 big harbours on east and west coasts - accessible for our best intensive dairy farming land in Waikato. The countryside is not flat - more undulating - unlike Wellington which is generally tougher country, steep and constrained in 3 directions. I suppose the international airport has given Auckland an edge, Wellington has a smaller runway. What starts out as a minor advantage can build on itself to become a major. For example Auckland developed in manufacturing and distribution because of it's accessibility and external links via air and sea. Hence it became the big marketplace as well.
