While Tauranga, Napier-Hastings and Hamilton have eclipsed the city in population in recent years to make it only the seventh largest city in New Zealand, Dunedin is still considered to be one of the four main cities of New Zealand for historic, cultural and geographic reasons.〔The description of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin as the four main centres neatly divides the country geographically into northern and southern halves of each of the two main islands. These centres are thus described in a wide range of fields, from (encyclopedias of New Zealand ) to (scientific research institutes ), (the tourism industry ) to (nationwide organisations ) and (government departments ), and from the (entertainment industry ) to (newspaper reports ).〕 Dunedin was the largest city by territorial land area until superseded by Auckland on the creation of the Auckland Council in November 2010. Dunedin was the largest city in New Zealand by population until about 1900. The city population at 5 March 2013 was 120,246.〔(2013 Census Usually Resident Population Counts - Statistics New Zealand )〕 The Dunedin urban area lies on the central-eastern coast of Otago, surrounding the head of Otago Harbour. The harbour and hills around Dunedin are the remnants of an extinct volcano. The city suburbs extend out into the surrounding valleys and hills, onto the isthmus of the Otago Peninsula, and along the shores of the Otago Harbour and the Pacific Ocean. The city's largest industry is tertiary education – Dunedin is home to the University of Otago, New Zealand's first university (established 1869), and the Otago Polytechnic. Students account for a large proportion of the population; 21.6 percent of the city's population was aged between 15 and 24 at the 2006 census, compared to the New Zealand average of 14.2 percent.〔 In 2014, Dunedin was designated as a UNESCO Creative City of Literature.〔(28 cities join the UNESCO Creative Cities Network )〕 == History == (詳細はウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dunedin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
