One of the country’s biggest developments is currently underway in south Auckland.

Over 50 hectares of fields are being transformed into a new city the size of Napier – it's called Drury East. The new project is set to house tens of thousands of people when it’s completed.  

What can we expect from the country’s newest city, and how will it help ease Auckland’s burgeoning population growing pains? 

NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson shares the backstory behind Drury East.
