It is a sprawling, modern, busy city but not nearly so densely populated as other global cities of its same geographic size. The 60 square kilometers (23 square miles) that make up the region are home to 11D million people - one-third of New Zealand's population. Known as The City of Sails, it is built on a narrow isthmus that separates two harbors - the Manukau and Waitemata - and claims to have more boats per capita than any other city in the world. That's a fact that would be hard to dispute on.
