A turning point for Auckland. 

The third annual State of the City report has been released, showing how we compare on a global scale. 

It highlights strengths in sustainability, resilience, and culture, but says we lag behind in prosperity, skills, and innovation development. 

Deloitte’s Future of Auckland Lead Kate Sutton told Andrew Dickens that Auckland’s at 40% of GDP while the productivity per capita is about 20% lower than comparable cities around the world. 

She says we’re doing more for less, and a step up needs to be done to deal with the structural reasons behind it.
