It depends if you are talking urban areas or cities. Wellington's urban area has four cities (Wellington, Lower Hutt, Porirua and Upper Hutt), while Christchurch's urban area has just one (Christchurch)

In terms of urban areas, Wellington is larger with 393,600 people, compared to 375,200 in Christchurch.

In terms of cities, Christchurch is by far larger with 362,000 people, compared to 200,100 in Wellington.

These populations are as at June 2014.
