Manukau City is a collection of south Auckland (and some east Auckland) suburbs. It is "officially" a city, based on it's population but basically it is just the southern part of the greater Auckland region.

The suburbs that it includes are actually the most notorious for crime in New Zealand (such as Otara, Mangere and Otahuhu). But it also includes some of the wealthiest suburbs in New Zealand such as Howick and Botany.

Shopping there is interesting. There is one main shopping area with a large & very popular mall (Westfield Manukau City). Another huge mall is the "Botany Town Centre", which is an excellent place to shop. There are also several smaller malls scattered around the place. Another mall recently opened in Sylvia Park (technically this is in the Auckland district but it's right on the border with Manukau).

Manukau is interesting for it's diversity but you do need to be careful about where you go there. Certainly there are some places that I would describe as dangerous and others as really really nice.

If you ever visit Auckland then by all means avoid South Auckland. (Manukau City is in South Auckland). There are a lot of Maoris and Islanders who live there and cause trouble. If you are shopping in Manukau Mall then dont carry large sums of money in your wallet or bag. These Maoris and Polynesians target vulnerable people for money even though most of them are already on the welfare benefit. I was once shopping in Manukau and when I returned back to my car I got attacked for nothing. Im not trying to scare you, Im just warning you. And Im definitely not being paranoid or blowing things out of the proportion. I recommend Botany Town Center. A lot safer.

Big. Polynesian influence is strong. Close to the airport and harbour. Has a good mayor.
