Evidence snapshot for Auckland
Auckland appears in four practices in the CONTEXT block. Skinny Jump subsidised mobile broadband reached 31,776 active connections by July 2024 across New Zealand, though the practice does not break down Auckland-specific uptake. Auckland Unitary Plan Upzoning shows that the 2016 city-wide zoning reform roughly doubled permitting within five years and was associated with rents around 23% lower than the counterfactual eight years after reform, though much new supply took the form of townhouse infill rather than low-cost housing. Perpetual Guardian's four-day week trial found self-reported stress fell 7–15% and work-life balance rose from 54% to 78% among ~240 staff. Auckland UniServices manages 45 active spin-outs worth NZ$2.2 billion combined and has licensed 540+ patent families, ranked first in Australasia for three consecutive years by the SCOPR survey.
