What could Auckland learn from its sister city Brisbane?

Mayor Wayne Brown took a look at our sister city approach in Brisbane during the Asia Pacific Cities Summit (APCS) & Mayors' Forum last week.
He says Brisbane is one of the regions most like us in terms of population, demographics, infrastructure and budget pressures.

"We agreed there are gains to be made through our partnership in IT procurement and other business issues including learning from their experience in obtaining a City Deal."

The event theme this year was 'Shaping Cities for our Future'.

The APCS & Mayors' Forum is the largest and most diverse gathering of mayors in the Asia Pacific region. The event brings together city thinkers, makers and innovators to propel urban capability and best practices while connecting government and business to each other.

This year also marked the 35th anniversary of the Auckland-Brisbane sister city relationship.

Building “Brand Brisbane” may be a big task ahead of the 2032 Olympics, but earning global recognition with a rare United Nations gong will help, 2032 Games organising committee president Andrew Liveris says.
