Who is shaping Auckland's future?

The voices of younger, poorer and ethnically diverse communities in Auckland are being drowned out by older, wealthier, Pakeha residents, an RNZ investigation has found. The 26-thousand submissions made on Auckland Council's long-term 2050 Plan were dominated by Pakeha in particular - even in areas of the city where they're a minority. Democracy advocates say that mirrors the demographic that usually shows up to public consultations and the council needs to completely re-think how it engages with Aucklanders.
