Auckland (Scenario: The World's Liferaft)

Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand and considered the "Metropolis of the South Pacific". With a population of 3,700,000 it has benefited greatly from infrastructure projects such as the second harbour crossing (aka Tamihere's Tunnel), the expansion of light rail to Silverdale and the creation of Satellite Cities at Drury, Paerata and Dairy Flat to cope with the booming population. The city is a true melting pot with the population being 38% Asian 29% European, 23% Pasifika, 8% Maori and 2% other. The current mayor is Eduardo Garcia of the Labour Party who took office in 2049.
