The great majority of New Zealanders live in urban areas -- 2.2 million in greater Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and 0.5 million in other cities -- reason enough, then, to dedicate an entire book to these areas of New Zealand. Each of the 32 cities and towns described in this volume has its own charm and individual character. Because of the way in which the country was settled, there are many completely different townscapes. With 650 colour photographs, many of them full-page, youll really be able to see these differences.
