North Shore City

North Shore City (usually informally the North Shore, or sometimes just The Shore) is the northern part of the Auckland region.

The city had a population of 225,800 at the June 2009 estimate, making it the fourth most populous city in New Zealand. The city is also the country's fourth largest city in land, with an area of 129.81 square kilometres and a coastline of 141 kilometres. It is one of four cities in the Auckland metropolitan area. It is the most densely populated city in the country because, unlike other New Zealand cities, most of the city's area is urban or suburban in character.
