there are three main ways to define the
size of a city city proper urban area
and metropolitan area to put it simply
city proper is an administrative area of
a city urban area is the build job
region and metropolitan area includes
the urban area and surrounding towns and
cities were workers commute form in many
countries these tend to line off such as
quite being the second major city urban
area and metropolitan area in Ireland
city papads can often be deceiving such
as with palace where the city proper is
much smaller than the urban area of
urban Paris is home to 11 million while
the city of Paris is home to only 2
million
sometimes the different definitions lead
to multiple second largest cities in a
country an example is New Zealand we'll
be looking at a few contenders one for
each definition of a city if try to find
figures for metropolitan areas but there
are two different measures for urban
areas in New Zealand
[Music]
the latest city Papa urban area and
metropolitan area in New Zealand is the
northern city of wetland wetland city
Papa's home to 1.6 million and it's
urban area to 1.5 million while not the
capital of the country wetland is New
Zealand's main economic transposh
cultural industrial and educational
center now we find problems defining
what is the second largest city in New
Zealand author than city papa those the
two measures for urban areas first the
New Zealand standard areas
classification from 1992 and the newest
statistical standard for geographic area
2018 the latest statistics for the 1992
method is from June 2018 while those of
the 2018 method I from June 2019 the
main difference between the two is that
the last should avoided conurbations
into the individual cities such as
Napier Hastings being divided into
Napier and Hastings the capital
Wellington also I do not being split
into four different cities this means
that we'll have three statistics to work
with Celeste - would city Papa the five
largest city Papa's in New Zealand i
Turanga Hamilton Wellington Christchurch
and wetland this leaves close Church as
the second largest city in New Zealand
home to 380,000 in its city proper voice
church is located on the Aven River and
it's the largest city on the southern
island of New Zealand the city was
designed to to clip a show and center on
the Cathedral Square
Angeles the second largest industrial
centre in the country Christchurch is
well known for the devastating
earthquake that hit the city in 2011
this earthquake was thousands to leave
the city and four-plex from the time say
that Christchurch was no longer the
second largest city in New Zealand I'm
not sure which measure they used city
Papa or the 1992 urban areas also
remember that this earthquake occurred
before 2018 for the 1992 definition of
urban areas the five major cities in New
Zealand a chihuahua Hamlet in
Christchurch Wellington and Auckland
this makes Wellington New Zealand
in letcher City home to five hundred and
twenty thousand in its urban area
location on the southern tip of the
Northland Island
Wellington's the capital of New Zealand
and the world's Windy City by wind
speeds aster nation's capital since 1865
the New Zealand government in Parliament
the Supreme Court and most of the public
service are based here the National
Archives National Library and Museum of
New Zealand are based here as well as
many other artistic and cultural
organisations now we come to the more
recent 2018 way of measuring the scale
of a city this haft Wellington did size
to avoid ignition for Christchurch City
lost around 40,000 inhabitants with the
2018 method but because of its urban
population being more heavily
concentrated aged H were made this one
major urban area before the five largest
cities with this method in New Zealand
by travelling Wellington Christchurch
indirect light another thing to point
out is the Hamilton which came quite an
herbalist is aiming to become New
Zealand's second city within the next 25
years population studies show if
Hamilton continues to grow ash its
current wage or places like Wellington
remain started - will eventually have
the number 2 spot this could actually
happen or it could just be some way to
boost business in the area first church
wins in two of the three categories so
it probably deserves the title more
Wellington already is the capital of New
Zealand so it has international
recognition for that I hope what I found
when researching this video said
something like this Auckland is the
biggest issue
Wellington is the capital see she and
first church is the second city I think
that that's a fair way to put things but
what do you think since Paul's aren't
available anymore answer in the comment
section below
whether you think that Christchurch boy
Wellington should be calls New Zealand
second largest city
why should Hamilton try to take this
part you can also vote in May Paul on
fish off
