Lets begin by exploring the cities of New Zealand…

During our last lesson we learnt that a city meant you are surrounded by lots of buildings, lots of cars and lots of people

The most important part of a city however is…

People are an important part of the city because they help make decisions on how the city will look and how people will live and work in a city …

This sometimes involves everyone having to vote on what is more important

Sometimes there are many things that need to be done to help a city grow…

If we were asked to choose which is more important for the city – making it look good or making sure all people have warm houses, which would you choose?

Maybe a class vote will help make a final decision.

People are very important in today’s cities even the city you live in

Many years ago a city could not be named a ‘city’ unless there were enough people in the area…

Before 1989 in New Zealand, a place could not be called a ‘city’ until they had more than 20,000 people living in the area!

Manukau is south of Auckland and was officially recognised as a city in 1965.
