Presenter: Kate Sutton, Director – Future of Auckland Lead, Deloitte
What can the Wellington region learn from the recent, “State of the City’ report, benchmarking Tamaki Makarau Auckland’s international performance? How does the world perceive us, and how are we tracking compared to peers internationally?
What do we need to prioritise, invest in to make our city and region truly desirable for people and families to choose to live and work here?
The report is based on more than 120 global city benchmark studies, which together span more than 750 comparative metrics in which Auckland features, commissioned by the Committee for Auckland, Deloitte, and Tataki Auckland Unlimited, with support from Koi Tu: the Centre for Informed Futures and the New Zealand Government’s Auckland Policy Office.
In this presentation, Kate Sutton, Director – Future of Auckland Lead, will discuss the recent, “State of the City” Report, sharing insights on methods to achieve the type of partnerships that will guide our region toward a more thriving future. Kate will discuss the five core ‘pillars’ that reflect on cities’ short and long term trends: opportunity and prosperity, innovation and knowledge, culture and experience, place and connectivity, and resilience and sustainability.
