We know good decision-making relies on access to good data. That’s why we use data to understand key trends and inform all our strategic decision-making.
Auckland is one of the world’s most diverse cities, with a rapidly growing population and changing demographics. Our partnership with Active Citizens’ Worldwide means we benchmark Auckland against other major cities such as Singapore and London.
It’s important that Aktive has the knowledge, insights and research to respond and adapt to these changes, and that we share what we know with the sector.
