So I ask again: “AUCKLAND – METROPOLIS OR MEGALOPOLIS/MEGAPOLIS?”
And it needs to be answered after the Herald bungled this piece: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10879448 <_<
Something to think about
As I have been chatting away to various people on the concept of Manukau being a second CBD in Auckland; two interesting and thought-provoking questions popped up. They were:
- Can Auckland be looking at THREE CBD’s by 2040: the existing CBD, Manukau and Albany (or Takapuna (something the North Shore can figure out itself))
- Is Auckland an actual metropolis or in fact a megapolis/megalopolis
As for the tri-CBD question; another time and another debate. Right now it is the metropolis/megapolis/megalopolis question for Auckland
Now before some one pipes up about the world megapolises and megalopolises being massive areas with tens of millions of people, I want you to put that world relativity concept behind and think of a New Zealand and literal Greek concept of the terms.
The best way to convey the information is an information dump from Wikipedia
