We asked Auckland Council’s Chief Economist Gary Blick to explain economics in words that would be easy to understand.
He said it’s about society’s resources and how they are used to improve wellbeing.
This quarter’s edition of the Auckland Economic Quarterly (AEQ) looks at how cities create value and explores how well we might be fulfilling our potential in Auckland.
Are we getting the fundamentals right – such as using our land well and enabling Aucklanders to get around? What are the implications for Auckland’s liveability and productivity?
How might future Aucklanders look back at the decisions made in 2022, with respect to the choices they’ll have for access to jobs, transport links, and amenities.
