Auckland
Auckland (Māori: Tāmaki Makaurau) is a large metropolitan city in the North Island of New Zealand.
The
most populous urban area in the country, Auckland has an urban population of about 1,470,100 (June 2020). It
is located in the Auckland Region—the area governed by Auckland Council—which includes outlying rural areas
and the islands of the Hauraki Gulf, resulting in a total population of 1,717,500.
While Europeans
continue to make up the plurality of Auckland's population, the city became multicultural and cosmopolitan
in the late-20th century, with Asians accounting for 31% of the city's population in 2018. Auckland is also
home to the largest Polynesian population in the world. The Māori-language name for Auckland is Tāmaki
Makaurau, meaning "Tāmaki desired by many", in reference to the desirability of its natural resources and
geography.
