NZ’s Urban Classification
Main urban areas are very large and centred on a city or main urban centre. They have a minimum population of 30,000 e.g. Whangarei, Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin Satellite urban communities are defined as urban areas (other than main urban areas) where 20 percent or more of the usually resident employed population's workplace address is in a main urban area. For example, Pukekohe, Lincoln, Rolleston
Independent Urban Area This category identifies towns and settlements without significant dependence on main urban centres e.g. Westport

Why use the rank size rule?• The rank size rule states mathematically the relationship between a
settlement’s size and its rank in the urban order. It suggests what the relationship would be, based on the rank of the settlement.
• How do we do this?• Rank populations of all urban settlements in a country from highest to
lowest• The population of the third ranked city should be 1/3 the size of the
population of the the largest one, the population of the eighth ranked, 1/8 of that of the largest settlement etc.
• BUT – it is very rare to find that a country’s urban settlements fit the rank size rule closely, but there are three general patterns that do occur…
