answ2. When comparing the populations and areas of New Zealand cities, itis important to be Aware of regional amalgamations that affect the results.

For example, Dunedin is the second largest (in area) city in New Zealand, having been overtaken in that position by the recent amalgamation of several local authority areas surrounding Auckland. But the Dunedin City boundaries encompass vast areas of countryside unlikely or unsuited to and urban development. And no doubt the same applies to the new Auckland City.

Cities in the South Island of NZ are Christchurch 390 000 urban pop; Dunedin 116 000 urban pop; Invercargill 48 000 urban pop; Queenstown 10 000; Nelson 59 000 urban pop. These results may be inaccurate, because the recent census was cancelled due to the Christchurch earthquake. I did not check on the west Coast cities, nor other Canterbury or Otago cities.
